Zeppo:
I'd really love for RandyT to make a good push/pull spinner along the lines of their TT2.

I was thinking about building my own using the Blackhawke as a model.
I have plenty of room under my control panel, so I think I could make it work.

erictrumpet:
Definitely get a spinner for your CP!!!!

I got a spinner long before I got a trackball (although that is also a must-have IMO). A spinner is the only play to play games like Tempest and Tron. And don't forget Discs of Tron, a terrific game that is virtually unplayable, unless you have a push/pull spinner.

Apache Controls makes the Blackhawk which is a push/pull that I have had for a long time now and absolutely love it. It's a very high-quality piece (unlike many of the offerings from other manufacturers). Check it out, you will not be disappointed:

I'll second Eric's and Retroblasts's reviews of the Apache Spinner.   It is probably overlooked because people do not see them regularly but it is a first class spinner and one of the best for DOT.   I only have it in a temporary mount to check it out but cannot wait to put it in a permanent CP.

shorthair:
I like to use my trackball for DOT and would like a spinner with some similar kind of optical set-up for up/down, so haven't gone with the Blackhawk. Though of my own design, but forgot what it was or if it was even conceptually functional. Been a couple years.
