Then why all the mods from amateurs? Nearly everyone seems to comment on the spinner being not how they remember. Maybe you played on a cabinet that didn't have the same spinner issues I did (or anyone else has).
I'm all for standing your ground but this is a bad one to try to defend. The spinner complaints isn't a complaint about authenticity, it's a complaint about usability. I mean, are you seriously suggesting if you could implement 10 updates to the machines, you wouldn't swap out the spinner?

The fun part of a spinner is spinning it.

just a simple game to see how long it takes because i sure didn't think it took that long to get to the red, or to get that score. since we are on BYOAC, i used my old mame bartop with an oscar spinner.
that a1up "spinner" if it even deserves to be called that, is trash. sure, you can play the game. you can move around and shoot. but it's not how i care to play.
i don't think anyone should say the spinner is okay, and tempest or any game that uses the "spinner", is, playable. i'd be pissed if someone told me to loosen two screws and the spinner is fine after i paid $300.
tempest can still be fun to play on the a1up cabinet, but it sure doesn't use "authentic arcade controls". i do have fun playing centipede on my replicade centipede, but i knew buying it, the control wasn't going to be authentic arcade control.

I disagree that nothing useful has come out of this thread. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the developments as they've unfolded.

One of my favourite sites, and still gives me a laugh when I reread it ;D
I enjoyed it for the first few pages but it's now hit the point where nothing is being added. They're 4 feet high toys. Maybe good for kids but I can't see any kid playing it for long with the deluge of gadgets that can play more than 3/4 games. "Hey son, wanna play Street Fighter 2 while I kneel down or would you rather play BOTW chilling on the couch?". It does one job, and from the reviews, badly.
If you wanna throw more money on controls, stands etc at something to bring it up to par and still be looking at a washed out 17" LCD with crap viewing angles and rubaway control panel graphics(TM) then no advice from anyone here is gonna matter.
Anyway. I'm off to finish my 5ft stand for my neo geo mini. Laterz Haterz ;D
