Modifying the ezarcade spinner?
(1/2) > >>
JonnyBoy:
Okay, here's the plan.

I work in a hardware store nowadays and have access to plenty of supplies, but what seems to be the main problem with the EzArcade Spinners? Is it anything that can be tinkered around with, maybe adding a counterweight to get a heavier feel to the spin? For those of you who have them, does the design allow room for any sort of improvement?

If this has been done before please send me the links, I tried searching but didn't come up with anything about modifying these.
JonnyBoy:
Nobody?
Jabba:
I don't have one of those spinners, I have the tonado spinner from Oscar...but I'd imagine some lead weights like they use in fishing tackle might be able to do the job...

Oh, and I always wanted to post this for you...A song by Pete Townshend... ;)

Heh, it always reminded me of the Gary Moore song:


When I hear that wind blow,
all across the Wicklow mountains.
Is it you I hear a calling?
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.


When I look to the west,
out across the River Shannon.
I can still see you smiling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.


When the leaves have turned to brown
and winter's due.
As I watch the sun go down,
I'll think of you.


When I hear that wind blow,
all across the Wicklow mountains.
Sure it's you, I'll hear a calling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.

You could also use rare earth magnets that Lee Valley sells...They would be easier to attach/detach...

Not sure how heavy they are, but they can hold a lot of weight...

Just a thought...
