SteveJT, If you end up getting a real spinner and have no use for these then I would buy them from you. Are they the Happ ones or the green SNK ones ? I'm getting a Calibur 50 machine from a guy at work and it has the wrong joysticks in it so I'm looking for a pair of the green handled SNK optical rotarys Please keep me in mind. :)

stevejt:
One has a green handle and the other was replaced with a yellow handle.   I think my dumb @ss paid $50 plus shipping for the whole CP, thinking I was getting 2 LS-30's.  I will keep you in mind if I don't deceide on keeping them.  Send me a PM here so I remember who wanted them.  You're not to far away either.

People have used optical rotarys with MAME to play the mechanical rotary games.  They work pretty well, but don't have the distinct click/feel that the mechanicals do, which bothers some people, including myself. 

Folks have also used them as a spinner, or even a steering wheel.  Reports say it works OK, but not as good as the real thing, as they have no weight, and won't keep spinning.  Personally, I'd only use 'em as a spinner on Arkanoid and Pong type games.
