Which spinner?
monkey puzzle:
I am about to order some U360 restrictor plates from Ultimarc, so I thought I might as well buy a spinner also to combine shipping costs. After looking at the spinner tops available from Ultimarc I couldn't really see one which I like, but I am rather fond of the "ElecTron" top from GGG. Can anybody tell me if this spinner top is compatible with the Ultimarc Spintrak? And if I am buying from both companies anyway which spinner should I buy (Spintrak or TT2)? It would be good to know which spinner is favourited by people.

I am not sure there is any practical difference, other than the tops, and the fact that two TT2s can be chained to one board. Just googling "Turbo Twist vs Spintrack" brought up some threads on this forum. Not sure about the tops being interchangeable... I imagine so but I am sure someone can confirm. Personally, I have a TT2, used only a little (still building the cab) and playing spinner games with it is awesome, and I have yet to really tweak any settings.

100% Apache!
http://www.apachecontrols.com/products.html = the best IMHO
I've had 2 GGG, 2 Tornado, 1 ultimarc & 1 apache so although this is just my opinion its important to know I've played em all
Some talk about the Apache's "low resolution" but I compare that to buying a 1080p tv just to display 600*800 resolutions.... it doesnt make sense.
I still buy stuff from Andy/Randy @ GGG/Ultimarc, they are good guys but now that I've held an Apache in my hands all other spinners feel how shall I say this..... "almost".
Ultimarc knobs & GGG knobs ARE NOT interchangable.
Here is my #2 choice although it is not a push/pull spinner: http://na.suzohapp.com/amusement/gameparts/201314.htm
Just my $0.02, I am not the authority on spinners ;D

I'm happy with my Turbo Twist 2 from GGG.
but I have never tried any of the others
scofthe7seas:
haha pinball wizard.. number 2, the spinner that shall not be named!
I also have one of those, and I like it well enough, though like mgb, I don't have experience with others.
Sucks that you have to get it at Happ though..
