7800 Arcade Joystick Sale

[UberArcade]

I started a sales thread for my 7800 Arcade Joysticks in the 7800 forum. Posting here so people don't miss it.

 

They of course work on the 2600, XE, etc. Taking orders now.

If I had the room I would probably jump on that.

If I had the room money I would probably jump on that.

 

You have a lap, don'tcha? Thing could sit atop your 7800 when not in use. There's two objections regarding space thwarted! Money or priorities maybe?

This thing looks very well built, I'm imagining that since it says it works with the 2600 it would work on the TI-99 with 2600 controller adapter. I'm tempted to buy one

I wish I had a TI-99 to test it on. It is wired the same as the 7800 Proline if you have one of those around to test with.

[+save2600]

If it's wired the same as a Pro-line, no reason it wouldn't work on the TI with an adapter.

 

I don't have a horse in this race, but your controller should work perfectly fine (without need for an adapter) across at least, these platforms:

 

Atari 2600, 400/800/XE/XL/XEGS

Atari 520/1040/Mega ST

All Amiga computers

All 8-bit Commodore computers

 

...and any other system with a 9-pin d-sub connector that regular plain old Atari 2600 joysticks happen to work with.

[UberArcade]

I will offer a return policy if you buy one for a system it "should" work on and for some reason it isn't compatible. So the TI-99 with an adapter for example. Just send it back in the same condition.

I have one more joystick for sale and ready to ship. After this one is gone I will have to restock parts to make more. Get one while you can.

Is this still available? Prices?

Yep, I sell them from my website. $225 with free shipping. I do have parts on hand for a few right now. It has been hard to keep up though.

thank you for the update!

Hey guys, I am selling the last 7800 Prosystem Joysticks I am likely to make. I am down to the last 7. I have not drilled the cases so you can still specify right or left when ordering. I have been selling them on my website http://classicjoysticks.com/ and I am down to the last overlays. It is unlikely I will produce more of this style. If you want one now is the time to get it. You won't find a better joystick. You can order at my website. They will ship out about a week after ordering.

Curious how many you sold in total?

Is it possible to get micro switch buttons?

 

Thanks!

@UberArcade: Congrats on a successful run. Your arcade sticks are gorgeous!

Thanks!

You could probably drop in some Happ/IL switches if you wanted.

[UberArcade]

The total production on these is 45 units. I kept two of them. :-)

Yes, I can switch the buttons if you like. The hole sizes are the same for a standard micro switch button.

[hizzy]

Would you also happen to have joysticks that are switch-able from 4 way to 8 way? Thanks!

Good for you for being able to sell so many of them!

[UberArcade]

Only 4 joysticks left. If you are thinking about getting one now is the time.

I do not Know the reason people have to blow on a Joystick for that much

 

A joystick should be like $60 at best

Some people want or can afford the Rolls Royce of Joysticks. Others are happy just driving around in the economy sedan or hatchback. Either will get you plenty of mileage but I'm not sure this is the place to discuss the economics in buying a boutique luxury controller. The craftsmanship on these is amazing!
