Opinions Wanted - re: Spinners
oldskoolcade:
Hey gang!
Okay so I've finished redoing my control panel last night, and the last thing I needed to do was the spinner. I've built a homebrew spinner using a hard drive bearing, and an old microsoft mouse and it works pretty well I'd say. My question is - is it worth getting a 'good' spinner from Oscar and will I notice a huge difference (and is it worth the extra money).
Just thought I'd ask the experts :)
Cheers!
Mike

I don't think you can get one spinner that works great for all games.

It depends on what other items you have on your system.
I love my Oscar spinner. And I think its pretty good with everything. And perfect for games I like (tempest, ect)....
One thing you might consider doing. Trying to sell it on the B/S/Trade board. ( :) ) . You might find someone willing to buy it for a chunk to a new one... And it makes it worth your time.
Is your cabinet missing anything else that you might want to consider before upgrading?

As far as an Oscar...the spinners are great. There are differences among spinners though that can impact gameplay.
Maybe it is time for a spinner with a quick change from free spinning to gear drive....
