Yeah, it's all modern looking with it's shinny knob, but it spins too smoothly. I prefer the friction you get from a soda soaked bubble gum abused spinner like we had to use back in the 80s. I can spin this one and go for breakfast and then come back to see it still going. ;D But seriously, does anyone beside me think these are made to spin too well?

A pack of gum is less than a dollar... problem solved ;D |

It's easier to add friction than it is to remove it. There are a number of things you could try (if pop and bubblegum are too spendy). Maybe take a bit of string and tie it around the base of the shaft (under the knob) so that it rubs the CP a bit. Maybe put a bit of felt between the two. There's probably even some options for the back side, I'm not familiar with the product so I can't suggest anything though. As a mechanical engineer, it seems wrong to intentionally add friction to a design (other than brakes anyway). :dizzy: |

I remember when that spinner was first announced it seemed like a really odd selling point to me as well when it said they would spin forever!?! I think the majority of us here are looking for arcade authentic, and that sure isnt. Im all for a modern spinner, but the fact that they spin forever isnt a selling point for me. |
