pcb: thanks! I've mentioned the problem to Happ Controls and IMMEDIATELY got a human response offering a replacement shipment with prepaid return shipping! That's what I call service! We'll see if the next one has the same problem and if so, I'll use pcb's trick with washer and verifying axle orientation. It spun amazingly smooth when the weight wasn't on the bearing housing so anything that minimizes that should fix it. I was even picturing some spring/coat hanger attachment to put a single point of upward pressure on the bottom of the axle beneath the bottom frame since just pushing up with my finger made it spin like a champ :) Your solution seems far simpler and less prone to slipping. Weird they're not putting these together properly. |

It doesn't have the necessary resolution (ie you need to spin the spinner too much to move the bat) I bought the Spintrak and that works a lot better. --- End quote --- have you tried messing with the mame analog settings? (tab-menu) Seems it usually defaults pretty low and should be able to go up to 200 i think. |

Hopefully they have the assembly correct now, using a slightly bigger, fatter o-ring, which would eliminate the washer. - Mike - |
