the main problem is not the replacment spinner.
it's the software and the emulation.
the arcade 1up emulation is based on an early version of MAME,
unless you go in there specifically and adjust the analog settings,
no spinner is going to work correctly.
(there is a USB mod that allows access to it).
best bet, use an alternate emulator, adjust the settings to proper number,
and then play the game.
settings:
Game Effective_Tooth_Count Counts_Per_Revolution
Tempest 72 72

=================================
by the way, the leaning in the lane makes absolutely no difference in playing the game,
its purely for looks.
also, if you get better, and can get past the red, yellow, and into the blue levels, you
never need to spin quickly, you are only move left and right very slowly from lane to lane,
so the spinner speed is irrelevant.
