Can anybody identify this 7800 controller?

[thetallguy24]

It's 3rd party but doesn't appear to be the Telegames one as it doesn't have a turbo switch. Any ideas on the make and model? It's the one on the right.

yeah, the telegames doesn't have the diamond knurl like that, either. I've never seen that one.

So I've found the Holy Grail of controllers and its worth $5,000? LOL

 

Here's a few more pics of it

How do you know it is made for the 7800? Have you tried both buttons?

Is it a certainty that the controller is a 'true' 7800 one, and not a 2600 controller clone with a button on each side?

 

Thinking perhaps something like how the Sears Arcade II, Suncom Slik Stik, Tac 2, Tac 3, etc., are designed.

 

A clone/bootleg 2600 controller is perhaps more likely.

 

EDIT: CPUWIZ beat me to the punch.

Yeah. I just got it today and just tested it on Asteroids 7800. Both buttons appear to do the same thing

So it is a left/right handed controller, not a 7800 controller, mystery solved.

Not really. I still don't know the make or model

Looks like its either a Funvision or Kingsway
