How do you control Asteroids?

Original AD and Space Duel here... no MAME at all.
A spinner? Sounds good, but I think that control translation would be hard, wouldn't it?

I'd imagine a spinner would be easy to get used to if you were a Blasteroids fan.

Original cab ... pure vector and buttons all the way.

That's an entirely different question than strictly for Asteroids.
Aside from needing spinners for alot of games, you will need to have multiple button arrays for some games, like Space Duel and Eliminator.
I built a Space Duel repro CP for my cab that used an extra button to allow you to play Asteroids in the middle of the cab.
It looked like this, and you played Asteroids on the red buttons.
