hyiu:
Wow... a realy nice cab !!!...
I really like that arc of the control panel....

AGarv:
Looks excellent! Is the spinner hard-drive based?
Was there ever a list of spinner-friendly hard drives compiled? I had to take apart four to get mine, and by the time I was done had forgotten which it was from...
Anyways the cab is great, you're really starting to get too good at this. If you don't mind me asking, how did you cut the curve into the plexi so well? Router? Meticulous dremeling?
Smittydc:
Beautiful design!
Thanks for sharing.... inspires me to clean up my sideart a bit...

Yes the spinner is hard drive based (what else? ;D) I used the optic board from a broken wico trackball instead of the mouse guts and hooked it into my optipac.
The trackball is an old wico out of a Birdie King cab with a replacement traslucent blue ball from Bob Roberts. I've had the best luck with old 250Mb Western Digital drives for the spinners.
I used a router to cut the lexan with my control panel as a guide.
I bought the orange ball tops from the e-bay guy. (can't remember his name right now) from left to right there is an 8-way wico leaf, hard drive spinner w/tempest replication knob, an 8-way super with Oscar/1up raider blue stick hack, a 4-way wico leaf, and another 4-way wico leaf set diagonally for Q-bert (I really like Q-Bert).
I'm glad you guys like it!
