Err, only if you want the spinner to be on the x-axis and z-axis both outside of mame. (You never made this clear.)
There are many conditions one spinner will be fine. I can't tell in your case because you only hint you want a "normal spinner" and a "scroll wheel spinner", but not which games or applications will use which of the two.
OTOH, there are many games in mame that can use two spinners, so there's nothing wrong with two spinners. And since you can remap in mame, it's fine if player 1's in one the X-axis and player 2's in on the Z-axis. :D

My bad, yes it is outside of MAME...but you do make a good point.
Too bad I already had my hands on another spinner and passed on it.
I guess in the end it isn't that important to me, because I think anyway will look utterly stupid on my panel.
Frankenpanel is one thing, but this is overkill!
genesim:
You know in thinking about this...is there maybe an easier way to get it to act like a scroll wheel as in installing a switch on the back of the arcade to go from normal to z axis???
Can this be achieved easily instead of using a jumper??
