I won! Discs of Tron Arcade control Panel (ebay)
Jake Stookey:
Oh, I am so pleased... I've been wanting to play this game for real for a long time... And it may still be a while before I can figure out how to get it to rock in Mame... I'd given up on the game as an arcade controller, figuring I'd be better off just buying the whole arcade machine someday when I'm old and rich and have lots of space... But this! This is so friggin' cool. What are the chances of finding this thing?

Mike:
Dang thats a lot of money you paid for that. I didn't even spend that much on my whole cabinet. Hope it works well for you.
Vectoraster:
I think it's great that it landed in the hands of a MAME'r. Tell Callan no more sushi on account of him not calling me (Ken) before he E-bayed it >:(. Probably paybacks for the STTNG thing we went through ;D. He'll know what you're talking about ;).
By the way, I was checking the Happs catalog and the new joystick with 1 button costs over $100 alone, so the price wasn't too bad either, considering you got the spinner, too. Nice going.
Jake Stookey:
Thanks! Yeah, I mean, the price was outrageous... I bet the other guy was half glad that he didn't have to shell out the dough for it.
Buying the controls new from Happ and whatnot would already be like $175 or so... Believe me, I've looked into it! And they still wouldn't cut it! A regular spinner needs some crazy hacks (and I don't think that I'm that handy by any means). There'll be nothing cooler in my mind than building the real thing into a desktop joystick.
(Awfully expensive, though for a 1-game joystick).
I just hope that the spinner is smooth, and it works well!
(And once it's built that I can play well enough that I can get to the stages where you move up and down - haven't seen them yet.)

If I didn't have a wife and kids to suck my cash from me... I wouldn't have thought twice about it :D
Should be an easy one to hack. I wish I had the cash!
DoT really stops at level 9 (was 9 right). Without up and down, it's just not fun
