Shame, he sold some nice stuff. Particularly missed are the classic spinner knob reproductions he did, like the Tempest and Discs of Tron ones.

I miss Oscar too, I liked his products. I have a Vortex that is a nice unit. Mine has the push kit which adds a button when the knob is depressed. I ran it off an OptiPac from Ultimarc. But I got an Apache push-pull spinner about a year ago and have not looked back! This is a great spinner, with a built-in interface. I run my trackball off it too. The OptiPac and the Vortex sit in a box waiting for another project (but if I built another cab, I would probably just get another Blackhawk from Apache!) It works great and has gotten great reviews. The push-pull is a great addition that once you use it and begin mapping it to various functions in dozens of games, you will wonder how you ever lived without it.

Looks like a nice spinner, knobs are pretty nice too. I used to have the Oscar DoT reproduction spinner, but for various reasons ended up getting rid of it. I kept the DoT knob tho ;)
