R.I.P. The Atari Vector Cockpit

halfway.jpg
 
Yep, I'm done. This was a project that I started over 2 years and $5000 ago. Long story short is that I ALMOST finished it, but lost the desire due to circumstances in my life. It's been sitting here waiting for me to finish it but I realized that it's not gonna ever happen. Too many other things going on right now.

Anyway, This is a vey early shot of it. The entire cab is finished now. It separates into 2 pieces for storage. It has 5 control panels, and 6 boardsets with 2 multikits in it. Including 3 wiring harnesses and 3 power bricks and 3 ARII boards. I modleded it after a Star Wars cockpit with 4 speakers. I'll try to dig up some more pics.
 
Brent,

You getting out of the hobby for a while? I seen allot of "For Sale" post as of recent?

Are you selling it? If so how much? I'll pay!
 
Very cool I hadn't seen or heard of your work on that before. Also digging the Led Zep.
So you are getting out of the hobby completely or just downsizing the collection?
 
That thing is ugly as hell. What monstrosity is that?

Open mouth and insert foot as usual? You like kicking a man while he is down?

I'm sorry, but when did this become the hellcade forum? That thing is ugly. PERIOD. End of story. Has nothing to do with being down or up or sideways or whatever. If that was an Ebay auction, someone would surely post it.
 
He has already begun selling the parts to it in the for sale section.

I wish he would have offered the whole thing first then if no bites (which wouldn't have happened since I would have bought it) part it out.

Anyway, I'm interested in the cockpit if it's for sale.

Well, since it's only half there in the pic how would you know if it's ugly or not?

I'm sure when you came out ass first the doctor didn't say how ugly you were...until he actually saw your face!:)

Yes it's for sale. PM sent.
 
Do you mean the hobby or that project?

Dave

He has been liquidating a bunch of games, parts, and this project. Looks like he is out of the hobby. Wish you the best Brent! I for one appreciate what you contributed to the hobby, and I hope your web pages will be around for a while to come. Of course we can hope you will find your way back to us as well.
