Thanks for the replies and the answer. I assumed am oiled roller switch would be quieter. Guess I was wrong! Here's another question: Is the noise even audible when the spinner is in a closed controler panel / cabinet? I'll have to re-read the review, as I assume the test spinner was not in an enclosed cabinet... |

Isn't the main purpose of a push pull spinner DOT? Correct me if I am wrong but if I remember correctly you adjusting up and down aim with push pull and I don't remember doing this while spinning the knob. Not like you are likely to be holding the knob up or down and spinning the thing ala tempest, no? |

As PoDunk said, spinning WHILE holding the knob up or down is something that I literally never do while spinning. Frankly I don't see how it's even possible, since you have to grasp the knob and pull (or push), and if it's in mid-spin, then when you grab it it will stop spinning, duh. I guess you can push or pull it, and then while holding it up or down (an awkward and unnecessary maneuver), intentionally grind it around slowly... but why the heck would you do this? As I said in my Blackhawk review thread in the hardware review board, I wasn't even aware of this "problem" until it was mentioned here, even after playing many hours of DOT (and other games) with my Blackhawk. Anyone who is worried about this issue, don't be. And Apache offers a satisfaction guarantee anyway, so go for it. Boy, we arcade builder hobbyist types sometimes go a little overboard with the pre-purchase research don't we? :) I am very guilty of this as well! This BYOAC board is awesome and the comeraderie can't be beat, but sometimes it makes us suffer from "Too Much Information" syndrome. :) Eric. |

Okay, that was two words, and it was only a push spinner, not a push/pull spinner. But you had to be able to spin while pushing the button/spinner. Some of you might have only played this game with only buttons to spin, but it is much better with the spinner button. |
