I googled: diy arcade spinner. Here's a list of links (many dead). Which got me to How to Build the Cheep Spinner a 47 page pdf guide. If that's not enough, here's a page that shows you how to make one from a hard drive spindle.

I'm guessing that you're talking about horizontal or vertical monitor? I did a deluxe search at maws. There are more horizontal games that use a paddle or dial than vertical ones.

I think it would be very uncomfortable to use the spinner if it was mounted on the front face of the CP.
