http://www.apachecontrols.com/products.html = the best IMHO
I've had 2 GGG, 2 Tornado, 1 ultimarc & 1 apache so although this is just my opinion its important to know I've played em all
Some talk about the Apache's "low resolution" but I compare that to buying a 1080p tv just to display 600*800 resolutions.... it doesnt make sense.
I still buy stuff from Andy/Randy @ GGG/Ultimarc, they are good guys but now that I've held an Apache in my hands all other spinners feel how shall I say this..... "almost".
Ultimarc knobs & GGG knobs ARE NOT interchangable.
Here is my #2 choice although it is not a push/pull spinner: http://na.suzohapp.com/amusement/gameparts/201314.htm
Just my $0.02, I am not the authority on spinners ;D

I play racing games & Arkonoid with my Apache all the time.
We shall just agree to disagree, I dont want you to ignore my future orders ;D

You never mentioned why you thought the Apache was the best.
Does it have to do with the "feel" of the spinner?
The only third party spinner I have an original Tornado gathering dust. (All the other spinners I have are original arcade spinners from Arkanoid, Tempest, Star Trek, & a couple of Midways from unknown games).

Yes, thats exactly it. I like the heft, up/down throw distance, feel, spin & above all the knob.

A sensitivity of "1" (the lowest) would make a 1200 transition per revolution spinner be seen as a 12 tpr spinner. 2 would be 24 tpr, 3=36 tpr, 4=48 tpr, 5=60 tpr and 6=72 tpr...and so on. 6 is the magic sensitivity number that coincides with the original 72 tpr encoder used on Tempest and similar titles, when using a 1200 tpr spinner like the TurboTwist 2.

This is interesting... I'd never thought about what the analog sensitivity setting actually meant. As a recent TurboTwist 2 customer, do you have a list of recommended MAME settings for spinner games?
