I am figuring up pricing for a buddy of mine in the interest of building his own standalone control panel. Since Oscar Controls is closed down indefinitely AFAIK, and the cost of a SlikStik Tornado would probably make him do a double spit-take (although that's what I went with, and I don't regret it for a second ;) ), I have had to seek out other affordable spinner solutions. I found one on eBay that I hadn't seen before, and followed this link to their website: http://www.ezarcadesolutions.com/ Is anyone familiar with or have one of these spinners? What other options are available? On a side note, simply swapping the knob for a steering wheel sounds like a darn fine idea. |

:-[ I would like to say that I *DID* perform some extensive (or so I thought) searches in the forum before starting a new thread, but as that thread makes no mention whatsoever of the company or product name, and even the URL to the vendor's website is different, I got zero applicable results. So, it sounds like a decent enough spinner as long as you don't mind a short spin time. I know my buddy is a big Tempest fan (Jaguar owner :o), however, so that could be the deal-breaker. |

Thanks for the list of alternatives. I neglected to mention that my buddy has an iMac (the most recent style), and I intend to use a Mini-Pac for the encoder, so either USB or something that can be wired direct is the only option. As for building one from scratch? I think he has neither the interest nor the skills, and I'm certainly not gonna fool with it. ;D |
