My name's Nick Persijn! Freshstart719 on GameGavel.com and eBay, and nicolaspersijn on the JSII Jaguarsector.com forums. I've been a fan of retro gaming since it wasn't retro. I've got a modest collection, but I just started concentrating on Atari Jaguar.
I also custom build some Jaguar items. I make Tempest 2000 rotary controllers in a variety of fruit flavors. Single rotary, Duo rotary/dpad configurations, clicky/smooth encoders, black/grey keypads, and plastic/metal dials. I take special requests through my Rotaries/AV Cables thread on the JSII forums. I also keep a few posts running on GameGavel and eBay. I'd like to offer my services here as well.
I also like to make custom SVIDEO/Composite Stereo AV Cables for the Jag. These are pretty fun to make but take a steady hand and nerves of steel. I usually keep at least one up on GG and eBay most of the time.
I'm in the market for some other Jag items, notably a Falcon ProPad and a Jag 6-Button Pad. I just got a Rev 3 Skunkboard and I'm waiting for it to arrive. Can't wait to find out what it can do, and how to freakin' use the thing. Can you say "impulse buy"?
I haven't looked around AA much for Jag news, but I've noticed that Jag related news has been on the rise lately, from new Goatstore items being announced, new games and some old ports. I can't wait to find out what comes out of EJagFest this year. Glad I'm getting in at the groundfloor here on the upcoming renaissance with my very modestly priced, and gamer-centric (as opposed to collector) Rotary Controllers.
Here is my pricing. These prices are only good through AA and JSII special requests:
Base T2K Rotary Controller (plastic knob): $35
(metal knob): $50
T2K Rotary Duo w/Switch (plastic knob): $40
(metal knob): $55
These prices INCLUDE Shipping! Only for AA and JSII special requests.
Some of you might know one of my recent customers. SoCal Mike Kennedy from GameGavel and RetroGamingRoundup recently purchased one of my controllers and AV Cables. Check out a quick review here:
Here's mainly what I've been offering lately:
Here is my base model. It's got a plastic dial that replaces the dpad. Works great if you want something simple. If you can find something like this cheaper anywhere, it was probably made by a toddler in a sweatshop somewhere

Next is my personal favorite setup (this is the setup featured in SoCal's review). It's my T2K Rotary Duo Backmount Metal. This particular one has a clicky encoder installed.

Next is a configuration best for folks who would rather spin the dial with their left hand, but don't want to loose dpad functionality.

Finally, here is one of my custom made SVideo/Composite Stereo AV Combo Cables. Yes, it's a modified XBOX1 AV Cable. Someone was bound to figure it out sooner or later. You should have seen how ghetto my cables looked before I finally figured this shortcut out.

Again, all the controllers are available as custom configurations based on knob location (anywhere you want basically), smooth or detented encoders, and plastic or metal dials. PM's through AA or JSII for requests. My supplies are pretty well stocked at the moment.
Looking forward to finally becoming a more active contributor to this community! Things are starting to get real exciting in the Jag scene!
