Looking for a complete Paperboy handlebar assembly (not control panel) for a bottom up restoration. Appearance and condition does not matter but looking for working parts. Please let me know if anyone has a set they are looking to sell.
Thanks!

These are probably hoarded more than any other controller. You would do better with some bait on that hook.
 
Good point z0ner.

Here goes…the controller assembly I am looking for has been sitting in a box for the past 30 years with Bazooka Joe gum stuck somewhere on it. It has some wear and tear but the mechanics are still fully functional. In other words ready for restoration and destined for my basement!

For that beauty, I would be willing to spend $500 - $550 right now. Any of you good keeper's of things, have something in that fits that jam please let me know.

I get angry whenever I see Paperboy handlebars because of Ram Controls.

Thanks,

I have read the threads, sounds like a common sentiment. I know someone still "waiting" on theirs. I wish there was a reliable reproduction source but sounds expensive and complicated enough to keep folks from attempting it thus far.
 
I took a punt with a wanted ad on the Facebook's (arcade-classics page) for the same thing, only last August, and a kind soul came through for me.

$150+ postage

But just be wary of scammers on there.
Good luck 👍

Kind soul indeed. Thanks for the suggestion, I will check it out. Still holding out for hope here though.
 
Bump - up to $550 based on condition. Anyone willing to part with a spare?

I have an extra set of reproduction torsion springs to include as part of the deal if the seller is interested.
