After market arkanoid spinners?

Ok, love my vortex spinner. But lately I've been in the mood to play more arkanoid type games (which the vortex works, but not great with).
Anyone know of a anyone selling geared spinners with a very high resolution without being weighted?

This spinner has a high resolution but it is not geared. Therefore not weighted as well.

The only one i've seen is this:

And it does not appear (at least by the encoder wheel) to be "high-resolution"

not aftermarket, but cheap enough, and definitely authentic...

this one from happ:
http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/95093100.htm
is geared/unweighted. i don't know if it's an exact reproduction.
it appears to be identical to the one from arcade-equipment.com.
it's expensive, but you can probably get it for quite a bit
less from ponyboy or divemaster127 on the buy/sell/trade forum.
