This was one expensive Major Havoc control panel !

I ran a single shaft through it, with an encoder wheel on the end of it.
I wanted to see if you HAD to have 3 rollers to make this work, and proved that you don't.
The one I built was very similar to a spinner, turned on its side, as you described above.

I'm willing to bet the built it this way because it would better stand up to the force of kids slapping at the controller. The application of force would be across the drive shaft of a spinner, but having the forcd distributed across the idlers probably allows it to hold up better in a rough arcade environment.

I'm sure they did.
I just wanted to see if it HAD to be done that way.
