Re: Gaging Interest: Tron - Satans Hollow - Gorf Repro Joysticks

Troy,

I'll support the project as I could use a satans hollow red stick. Plus the
blue tron sticks are always in need. The biggest problem I see is the guy
over in BYOAC who started the poured repro was talking about selling them
for $20 each. Not sure how far he made it, but that could really chew into
your target audience.

I am toying with the idea of reproing the translucent blue Tron stick,
translucent red Satans Hollow stick and the black Gorf stick. I would
also be making new triggers for each. I am working from an NOS Gorf
stick which is the same as the others. I am looking into having an
injection mold made to have the joystick professionally made with high
detail and quality. I am not gonna be pouring stuff in my basement, so
you will get a nice new exact replacement part. I also have nice Tron
and Satans Hollow sticks for color comparison (both of which are
cracked). From what I am finding out the mold is very costly. I am
thinking of make a run of 100 sets of each color plus the trigger. I
have a projected price of $75-$80 each, shipped in the 48 USA. I will
probably need prepayment with a ship date approximately 14-16 weeks
out. Please post here as I am just taking a poll at this point. Also
post comment and questions.

Thank you,
Troy



You can still get the black covers from Happ. I think they are $13 or $15
a set so don't bother doing the black ones.
