tron style spinner
pixelchallenged:
Yea, just saw Tron, and it refired my desire to add Discs Of Tron to my mame cabinet. That said, I know that the key piece is getting ahold of an original spinner, an Oscan push pull spinner or build one from scratch. If someone has one up for sale PM me otherwise I am build one with existing parts and a friend who is a master machinist. I have the ability to do the spinner bearings and housing. what I will be lacking in is the control portion of the device. I ended up with a happ 2 1/4 trackball that is missing one of the axis boards. This means that I have one good board that I can frankenstien to make a spinner, I think. Yes ,No, ?I have a hagstrom 72 input I think no matter, it has a trackball interface . So, can I hook up this set up and make it work?
So bottom line is that I can build this mechanism but I will have trouble with the interface. If I can get advice and make it work , I will post the build with pics for others to follow. I have a feeling that there will be increased demand fore this comming up
Thanks

for DoT, in addition to the push pull spinner you really need a stick with two buttons on it
i've got the TTHL paired with a PC flight stick and DoT plays great. other games that can make use of the spinner: zwakery, forgotten worlds, caliber 50, and the taito rotary games (frontline, tinstar, wild western) though I perfer a mechanical rotary stick for these paired with the GGG GPWiz

So has anyone used the turbo twist high low? Does it work in the same manner as the original game config? If its a plug and play for me,I am in. I just have never seen it mentioned before cool
