Very cool looking! I'm assuming the up/down buttons are mouse L/R buttons?
It certainly looks like it was worth all the pain and endless delays you suffered through to get it built!

Can it be used as a regular spinner without noticing the DOT-ness of it?

my now obsolete :'( genuine DOT spinner works great for all the spinner games except 720 degrees. in 720 you need to spin fast and hard. the dot spinner has a little too much heft for that. when i give it a good spin it will rotate freely about 3 times so it does have a silky smooth bearing action. also, the spinner stays solid when playing other games and you dont notice the up-down feature of the spinner.
if you are gonna put a spinner in your cab one of these new dot spinners from oscar is the right choice. they are new and you can get replacement parts for them when something wears out.
i just bought 2 more dot spinners off ebay as backup for my dot mame cab, for an average price of $100 each, that included the whole control panel with a blue trigger joystick.

Will this have a 1/4" shaft?
I have large hands, so I'd like to get the 2" aluminum knob (unfortunately from those other guys).
It's just too bad that I can't get a 2" aluminum knob with the engraved MAME logo from OSCAR!
Boo Hoo....

Oscar makes exactly the item you describe. Is there someone else copying his?

I mentioned in a previous post that I am still looking at other options for knobs, however I doubt I will offer a machined 2
