PROJECT BLOGS
There's been a lot of interest in
the progression of various projects over here at RAM Controls, so the
following pages have been created to provide background information on
each of the ongoing projects here at RAM Controls. Included are interesting photographs and
supporting text on the actual creation of each item. A little
background on RAM Controls. The idea of starting up this business
was conceived December 2004 at which time a few specific projects were
selected to start with, namely the Major Havoc roller and the Star Wars
yoke. Both items were very desired by the "community" as
well as the owner of RAM Controls for his own existing project games in
desperate need of repair. Having access to a wide range of high end
machine shop equipment, the idea to create RAM Controls and the subsequent
reproduction products was an easy decision as it was a natural progression
of an existing business. Aside from the obvious manufacturing
abilities attributed to running the machine shop, the owner and many of
his staff are well versed in other industries. Namely, the
electronics industry and the arcade industry. Together, all of this
knowledge has come together to create the expansive list of reproduction
items listed below. As always, comments and suggestions are very
welcomed and encouraged. Enjoy your stay.
Note:
It will take some time before many of these links are
accessible.
