Title: Oscar Vortex Spinner...
Post by: JamesS on February 12, 2004, 02:17:54 pm
Will the Oscar Vortex Spinner fit ok in a 3/4 inch MDF panel?

And I notice on their site they have a 7 day back order, does anyone know if this is everything or just certain items.  Or are they on Vacation?

Thanks for the help guys.  Starting to look at my 2nd panel and want to get to ordering the pieces needed.

Dunno about the backorder thing, but yes, it'll fit in a 3/4" panel just fine.

You should just email Oscar and ask him directly. I just bought a steering wheel and one of his optical cards (which made hacking the steering wheel to a mouse super easy) from him a few days ago. He's a great guy and very good about answering your questions before you buy anything.

Thanks Sasquatch.  

One more question I forgot to add.  Do they connect to the Optipac's fairly easy?

No problem.  :)  The Vortex comes with a connector that should hook right up to the OptiPAC.  I'm not using an OptiPAC personally though; I'm using OSCAR's USB mouse interface.

And Stingray's right: Just email him and ask about any backordering.

I got swamped with orders this week and that caused a backlog.  The weather must be nice somewhere (it's not in Detroit, though!) cause people are planning lots of projects!  :)

However, I am catching up faster than I anticipated.  By Monday I should be back to my normal 1-2 day order processing time.


All the spinners come with a connector that allows you to attach wires from the Opti-PAC to the optic board.   If you have any questions, please email me.  Thanks!

Excellent thanks Guys.

I just ordered from you, spinner, Tempest knob and a 4 way restrictor to finish panel number 1 and sorta get started on panel 2.

Thanks again.
