Oscarcontrols help
« on: October 02, 2005, 12:47:16 am »
Having read this forum I pretty much decided that a Oscar spinner is the way to go.  I also found out here that they are temporarily closed.  Since this is the last item I need for my control panel, I wanted to ask if anybody had any idea as to when they will re-open.  I have to make a decision on whether to wait for their re-opening or to pursue another option.

Thank you

last time i talked to Kelsey he had no set date as to when things would get back underway. I hate to say this, because he makes great product, but you may need to search elsewhere if your needs are immediate.

SlikStick's tornado spinner is an excellent choice - ordered one for my cab because I wasn't willing to wait around on Oscar Controls to come back up (it was the piece I was missing also).

You might try Zakk on this board out. He is the Canadian reseller and *may* have some left in stock. Pure speculation here on my part though...
Vids:  Home built MAME machine, Crystal Castles. Arkanoid
Pins:   Williams Aztec (working). Stern Nugent (not working...yet), Williams Phoenix (major not working, missing parts.... )

Always on the lookout for buying 90's game with Ramps that need work...
