Title: Spinner question
Post by: DAmnb on September 05, 2003, 01:32:42 am
I dont have a spinner on my CP and I cant say im all that involved in the inner workings of them.  :P
Well with the risk of being sniped by one of you guys, what would I need in order to use this spinner I found on fleabay?

Hard to tell with just the one picture.  For sure you'd need optipac, or do a mouse hack, or an oscar optical board and an oscar mouse board.

A plastic safe lubrication, maybe.  (I think the gears are plastic.)

A small hex or torx (star) wrench, maybe.  And/or a roll pin remover, maybe.

Dude says all the parts are there, but makes me wonder why he didn't put one together and sell it as a working spinner for more $$$? [shrug]

This spinner looks like a arkanoid type spinner, it has gears so it doesn't spin freely like a tempest spinner.  Not sure if this is something you want...

Speaking of Arkaniod,  how are you guys that play it with a regular spinner playing it well?  I suck at it with my regular spinner, maybe it's my analog settings.  I mean, I suck so bad that I don't even want to play it.
