RE: New Addition to Tornado Spinner Line!
shmokes:
I am consistantly impressed with you Oscar.
KevSteele:
Well, I see Christian posted here about the new knob as well as emailing me a pic! (So much for my scoop! :P )
So many cool knobs (and spinners) coming out, and only one spinner on my arcade cab! It's not fair, I tell you!

Well, there is a simple solution to that! Just think Warlords is your justification ;D

All,
We are just putting the final touches on the new top and we will post all the info regarding size, depth of the set screw and so on with in the next few days.
Oscar, besides the new top being able to be used in any spinner game, it actually has the capability of being used as a DOT knob due to the design. Specifically, where the knurling begins to cut in towards the center gives a very comfortable space for it to be gripped with fingers and pulled up and down.
The exact depth of the shaft hole is still being determined but I am sure it will be able to be mounted in a position on your DOT spinner shaft allowing for it to be pushed down, up is already a given.
We have a few more nice features coming out to both our knobs which has already been said, both knobs will be available in some very cool anodized colors, mainly Blue, Red and Purple.
Ultimately instead of trying to reproduce an old technology, we tend to basically just use the functionality of it in producing our original current and future products.

Okay. I'm glad you are sure, because when I was testing the DOT spinner with various different knobs (I have filing cabinet drawer full of different styles) I did find a couple that caused the problem I mentioned. That's why I brought it up in the first place.

LOL! I guess if by recreating the original controls that these games were designed to be played with is "old technology", then I'm guilty of that. :)
My interests lie in alternatives, not competition. Anyone that thinks I consider SlikStik my competition doesn't know me very well. I'm a gamer and BYOAC'er, man! The more alternatives that are available, the better it is for everyone, myself included.
