Why hasn't anyone reproduced the Tapper Tap handles?

LOL!

I mean in all seriousness we use them quite a bit in the Film industry. I'm just SICK of hearing about it as a be all to end all solution, especially when I start out by saying they need not apply. lol. One of my buddies got big into them when the Writers/Actors strikes went down, now it's all I see on my Facebook feed. You bring it up in the Sim Racing hobby and people LOOSE their fucking minds and go to war over them.

Whats the thread you need? I got a line on some that may work perfectly. People were using them for home tap systems. The may need some sort of thread adapter, but it would be a step closer.
The originals arn't threaded. The plastic is injection molded around the shaft,

Because of this thread I may have a line on a set of repros tho. Just waiting for him to message me back.

Good stuff. I was just trying think of a way to use standard small form beer tap handles. Could be done using some ready-rod/plain rod same diameter needed, then just cut threads on top for the handle. I have/was thinking about some like the handles like in the link below. But cheaper than the 40 US per plus shipping. It could be personalized too. "Chance's Saloon" "CharlieG's Speakeasy" "Tappin da Tapper" "My other game is a ZAXXON" and for @andrewb "in case of search emergency - pull here"

lol, I like where your head is going with this, but I'd be worried that if I did personalized ones that say "Chance's Saloon" for her game its one step away from getting her a bowling ball with "Homer" engraved on the side.

8bitnintendo did a set of reproduction tapper handles back in 2021, I still have the set I got from them if anyone is interested, here is the post.

Yeah I had another buyer from that order reach out to me already, just waiting to hear back from him. For whatever reason in the world that deal fails to go down let's talk. But he was first so I'm gonna give him the cash first :)

You guys are awesome.

LOL, oh I know. Truth be told the WHOLE reason this thread started is because today she was getting laser eye surgery done and we were both sitting in the clinic for hours this morning between her appointments and surgery. I had my laptop with me killing time on KLOV and she was like... "How come you haven't finished my game yet?". Now she's all hopped up on Xanax and looks like Stevie Wonder. ...it's been an interesting day.
 
the Tapper Tap handles have always reminded me of the old soda Tap handles. As a kid I got to volunteer at a hotdog and coke stand at a fair and was lucky enough to have to pour the draft coca colas and would pretend I was playing Tapper!

I wonder if one of those would work.
