I want to do FRONT LINE & TIN STAR by TAITO (the only 2 with this spinner, right).
There are
5 6 games that use this type of rotary 8-way/push controller.
- Front Line
- The Tin Star
- Wild Western
- Sheriff (Nintendo)
- Bandido (Exidy -- licensed re-release of Sheriff)
- Western Gun Part II (Taito -- licensed re-release of Sheriff)
The panel should have P1/P2 Start buttons, 8-way joystick, rotary 8-way/push controller, and one additional action button.
Does anybody have a rebuild "how to"on the clickity spinner? I bought it 2 years ago (it's HUGE!) for $30 and it moves ok, but needs a freshening up
The parts breakdown on pg 12 of
The Tin Star manual makes it look pretty straight forward.
does anyone have a link to wiring one up by chance?
Wire it like an 8-way top-fire joystick.
- Ground to all common tabs
- U/D/L/R/Fire inputs to the NO tab on the corresponding microswitch
Taito version:
Nintendo version:
Eight clicks per rotation = a detent every 45 degrees.
If you start with the cam (#11 in the parts breakdown) pressing only the "up" microswitch and turn clockwise one click, the "up" and "right" switches will both be pressed. Turn another click CW and only "right" will be pressed . . .

EDIT: Forgot about Western Gun Part II.
