Title: Arkanoid spinner
Post by: southpaw13 on April 21, 2013, 08:02:57 am

Hello, I know there are a lot of aftermarket spinners that work great with Mame, but does anyone sell one that is a direct drop in for a real Arkanoid game?

Thanks for your help,

arkanoids spinner was geared. There is nothing in the aftermarket that faithfully reproduces it. Not even close.

Thanks for the response.  So does anyone know if there are rebuild kits or parts available?  It appears that the gears are looking rather old and the main shaft has snapped.

Thanks for your help,

An Arkanoid control panel w. spinner just popped up here (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=272798) on KLOV for $50. "Spinner spins nice."

You could also make an offer to this guy (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=271737&) asking if he'll sell the spinner separate from the PCB.

Happ has a parts breakout here (http://na.suzohapp.com/joysticks/95093100ex.htm).

Divemaster127 might be able to get you replacement parts next time he places an order.

Thanks!  Trying option 2 and option 3 looks very different than the original.
