Ok, long-time lurker here...great thread.  I want to build my own spinner like this, I have the hard drive and some of the other hardware, my question is, where the HECK do you find a #6 and #8 Torx  drivers?  I've looked everywhere...Home Depot, Lowes, Radio Shack, local Hobby Stores...am I missing somewhere?  Thanks for any help, and thank you all for making this place a fantastic resource.

Radio Shack should have them Bring your HD with you when you go so you can test it right there. I bought mine in a Electronic Shop.

Can you provide details of the pcb bit of you spinner (assume it is a optical detector of some sort) ?

i have an ultimarc opti-pac would it connect to it directly? or would some extra electronics be required.

Got my Torx drivers at Sears.

Oh yeah, Nannuu & I also finally got around to installing Nasty's spinner.   Replaced the bunny knob with the knob that Bob Roberts sells, and it works really well.  Only problem was the L bracket came unglued so it had to be re-epoxied on.  

Ed ONeill:
Can anyone answer these questions?

How much space do I need under the control panel?

Can the rod above the plate be cut down or made smaller?

Thanks
Ed
