The remainder of the parts I needed to start the assembly process finished up today. This was much earlier than I expected. So with parts in hand I jumped right into it. Attached you will see nine scratch built "reproduction" Atari 720 joysticks. They are 100% reproduction and not OEM. They are a drop in replacement for OEM and all parts are interchangeable. The joysticks are tested/calibrated and properly lubricated. I have enough complete sets of parts for a few more joysticks. I wanted to stop here, take a break and show pictures of my progress for those who were interested. This is a very limited run. Enjoy!

I tried, but was denied. System said I didn't have access to post in that section. The regular for sale section doesn't seem to apply since I have a "run" of them.

Put them in the for sale section!
 
Gamers paradise had one in the store on free play for a little while... He wanted 1500 or 1600. Playing it drove me nuts - very hard to play... But that cab is just so cool to look at...
 
Is that what that was? LOL I stated in an earlier thread the range would be $400-$450 when I finished them. I came in on the low end of that range. :)

the sound of everybody hitting their brakes............

I think once one person buys one and vouches for the quality they will disappear, but for that price no one wants to be the tester... 400 is a great price if it works as well as an original... Just my opinion...
 
I don't have any videos. I was hoping someone who purchases one will comment as to the smoothness of the controller. Anything I say on the matter is biased, obviously.

BTW, will you have any videos of these in action, curious how these compare to originals.

Considering used condition not rebuilt controllers sell for $300-$350 on EBay and rebuilt controllers sell for $500, I would say your price is fine. :)

My feelings exactly. Wish I could connect with this game better but that controller drives me nuts.
