Well, there's this whole thing of not knowin' ya', not knowin' where ya' live, not being sure where I left my socks, and stuff...  :)

Anyway... ;)

Since I started this thread, I've sort of changed my perspective on this thing.

I've read about people working out a molding process with some local company or fabricator or the mystery 'guy' who machines parts for them here on the boards...perhaps someone will want to do that for this, er, thing.

For what it's worth, I'll look around and see if there's any way to do that locally.  I don't have any clue at all how I would go about this so it's bound to be slow if I'm the one to do it.  Let me qualify this by saying that I wouldn't be able to shell out a lot of money to do some sort of fabrication and it would be more informational than anything else.

I really think it would be a fun addition to the seemingly endless line of hardware available for the world o' arcade controls...but hey, I don't know anythin'.

...and 'pointdablame', I might consider giving you the spinner if you come over to my house and help me build this control panel.  :)  I suck at carpentry.  If I could work with power tools effectively and/or had any capacity to imagine how to assemble large chunks of wood into something remotely pleasing to the eye, I'd be a happy camper.   ;D

Somebody here bought an entire box of those Wico spinners about 1-1/2 years ago.
I don't remember who it was, but they've probably got 15 or so.

It is indeed the mad planets spinner.  I have one in my Mad Planets game.  It's made by Wico.

It spins almost as good as the tornado .. it's great.

Well, now that it's been identified as the 'mad planets' spinner...where can I get them!?  :)  I'm not sure the other one will be there when I go back, (it's a several hour trip I make only about once a month...  :)  ).

Should I even mess with tryin' to replicate the one I have?

:)

lharles:
Got the second one!  WOOT!

Not gonna' even try and figure out how to duplicate these things.  I'm short on time...and brain power.  :)

Still, I like the movement of these spinner/rollers and I think I'll try and use em' in my...

'CONTROL PANEL OF DOOM!'

Okay, please forgive the interruption.

:)
