Show of Hands - Who Has a Dedicated Lunar Lander? Thrust Controller coming SOON!

I've been so sidetracked with the yoke project for such a long time, I neglected many of the other existing projects at RAM Controls. One of those projects is the Lunar Lander thrust controller. I just pulled everything out of the mothballs and I'm looking to get them jumpstarted back into production.

With that in mind, I'm getting VERY close to having the Lunar Lander thrust controllers completed. I have maybe three or four *ahem* pre-orders for them which will be shipped first. Don't worry, these are incredibly easy to assemble, there's no soldering, etc... so I can't imagine getting "swamped" with building these.

So, once I have those first few pre-orders shipped, I was thinking of sending out a few evaluation units to generate some honest to goodness reviews of the controller. But, I need to know who in our community can (and will) adequately test/review them and not only post about them here on KLOV but also on some non-forum websites. As much as I like the kind words, I expect honest reviews so I can fix any issues which may exist. I generally believe that I catch all of the problems before the product ships, but I have both feet on the ground and realize that, as a human being, I can make mistakes. :) I fully expect anyone reviewing my products to catch these, too!

Show of hands? Make me believe you should get a free eval unit!!

Thanks guys!!
 
Dave, I have a Lunar Lander:) I am the current Lunar Lander world record holder. I could give it a good test, and write a review!! :) Who knows maybe I can bump my record up!!

LL

I just got a LL that was converted to an Asteroids. Unfortunately, I have not found a board yet. I could help if one falls out of the sky in the next couple of days. Either way, I was planning on buying a thruster from you when they were completed.

We need to find you a board!!
 
I have one, but I'm about worthless as a tester because I suck at the game. Wouldn't mind having a new thrust controller though.
 
I can test it on the MAME cab. Should be quick and easy to make a panel for that controller. I did a review of the Atari stick rebuild kit a while back that is floating around on one or two of these forums somewhere.
 
I have an original lunar lander. I just got a standard rebuild kit for my thruster, but would be interested in swapping my thruster out, testing the new one, then rebuild my old one and test against that.
 
I also have one (LL), with a home made controller in it.

In fact everything is home made.

If I get one of your ones it would be the only thing original (Replika) LOL

I guess I am a little too far down the list :D
 
I have a Lunar Lander... I drove 3000+ miles to pick the machine up!

Its my all time favorite as I'm a space nut and the Apollo astronauts are my childhood heroes!

Also, I can't talk about it yet, but a modification I am currently working on for my machine will absolutely, hands down, make it the COOLEST and most sought after Lunar Lander machine to ever exist!

Not kidding, but can't count my chickens until the eggs hatch so I'm not publicly talking about it.

My thruster control could use a freshen up, has some surface rust and is a little gummy... I will probably buy the parts to redo what I have.

If I win the thruster "lottery" I'd be thrilled to install your unit and test the living hell out of it. I'm good at LL so I could judge its performance, and I'm a mechanic for a living so I can explain problems clear and comprehensive.

SO, IF YOU WANT A RAM CONTROLS THRUSTER ON THE ABSOLUTELY COOLEST L.L. AND ONE OF A KIND PIECE OF HISTORY (AFTER MY MODIFICATIONS) MY MACHINE WOULD BE A GREAT PICK! PANTIES AND JAWS WILL BE DROPPING AFTER I POST WHAT I HAVE DONE TO MY GAME!!

Karl has a nice Lunar Lander, after you do the mod it will be pricless.

Based on the responses here, I've picked a couple of people to receive a freebie controller to test/review when I have them available. I'm not going to commit to a timeframe yet (I've learned a few things), but I can say that I will have them sometime relatively SOON. I'm still working on one part and some nice powder coating.

Watch for it.
