installing The TRON Spinner

I want to wire an old school TRON spinner into my Control Panel.
Here is one link I found. Rather involved, plus mouse element very shaky.
http://gl.tter.org/spinnerhack/
The only other page I could find was a comparison of spinners.
http://retroblast.arcadecontrols.com/reviews/roundup1.html
I am looking to wire this in with minimal electronic MODing.
I am green at electronics. I fear I would fry the thing.
Any suggestions?

You can order a replacement optic board from fixemdue un the B/S/T forum that will allow you to hook up the spinner to an Opti-pac. That"s one option.

I tried the hack at first, couldn't get it working. I didn't really try hard to figure out why. So, I just got a board from fixumdude, mounted it, wired it and am very happy.

I did the same. Not really worth the trouble to make it work with these boards available.

For folks who do replace the optic board -- please offer the old board up to folks who may be restoring them -- the timing chip on the Tron encoder board is becoming harder to find (plug for ArcadeComponents -- they had them when I was looking).
