Arkanoid spinner question

Tailgunner:

Looks like a roll pin. If so you'll have to drive it out using a suitably sized punch and a hammer.

Aceldamor:

I have 2 of theese spinners....i'll look

The circuit boards have a molex 4 pin connector prob be able to wire it up to an optipac....I'll post pics tomorrow.

Jerryjannis is good at this stuff.

ButeLegz:

That's freaky... only today did I get my Arkanoid spinner in the mail (recent eBay purchase... damn this hobby's addictive!) & was wondering much the same thing. I assume all I have to do is build & attach a new disc with the holes/slots in it & wire it to a hacked mouse/Optipac using the existing pcb.





Aceldamor:

Wow...your's is missin' all the guts.....there are about 4 gears in that thing and a bottom plate...

At any rate..you should be able to use an oscar mouse or hack your own mouse to get that board to work...

you'll have to trace the leads to see what order the connections are in..it should be something like below.  


NOTE:  this isn't an any specific order, that's why you'll have to trace the board to determine what order it is yourself....I'll see if I can figure it out, but we may have to recruit JJ on this one.  ;D
X1, +5, X2, GND

ButeLegz:

No guts... 4 gears... hmmm, maybe I'll just start one from scratch a la 'nasty spinnner'. I could still use the board, brackets & the original knob, provided I can figure out the board connections.
