| installing The TRON Spinner |
| (1/1) |
| heebeegb:
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? |
| Hoopz:
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. |
| Paul Olson:
I did the same. Not really worth the trouble to make it work with these boards available. |
| CheffoJeffo:
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). :cheers: |
