...of course being the pedantic nerd that I am, I started right-away to look past how cool it was and finding what I consider to be mistakes in the chart. I don't see a single trak-ball. No Channel-F? No Bally Astrocade? Gads I'm picky. -Chris
I've been meaning to send this out to the list for a while. They do high-end reproduction and custom arcade controllers. http://www.ram-controls.com
I'm considering parting with my I, Robot. I put a new monitor in it, have dome some other improvements, have some extra graphics for it and game and PCB work fine, but still have an issue with the Hal Effect Joystick that I haven't solved yet. Cosmetically its in excellent shape overall. Thought I'd ping the group here first to see if there's any interest before posting elsewhere. Please email me if you have any interest. thanks, jeff

I placed an order with RAM last week, and it just came in. I'm really impressed with their work; the parts look as good or better than Atari NOS. I bought some of the replacement Atari button cones in black anodized aluminum, and the biggest problem is that I need to replace all the cones on the machine now, as the cheap "late" Atari button cones don't look as nice as these reproduction cones. I also purchased a Lunar Lander handle and rebuild kit. The pot is a PEC made in Canada, not the usual "cheapest source" Chinese crap. Very nice. It sounds like they had some troubles with PayPal and are trying to make up for it. I'm impressed. -Chris
An odd request, but anyone have an original Defender speaker grill and mounting brackets (including wooden speaker mount board) from a parted out Defender upright? I know someone trying to bring a Defender back to life and he's missing those specific parts to complete the project. thanks, jeff

My thought is that I don't care about the date, Atari 2600 is #1! There is nothing more iconic than that joystick.
