SlikStik knobs also fit just fine on a EZ Arcade EZMount spinner

Nice price. Certainly industrial housing. ...

Nice pricing indeed !
It even has a steering wheel accessory, priced at $20, which at 7.5" wide, is (a) larger than all the steering wheels available for the TT2, and (b) less than half the price of the TT2's 7" wheel.
Mind you, from the appearance of the website, the customer service & overall professionalism appears to be a "level below" that of GGG. Further, the resolution of the spinner, important for Arkanoid, probably doesn't match the TT2's 1,200 transitions per revolution.

I hesitate to comment here, but I really don't want people to get confused about the differences. This is very much a case of "you get what you pay for". A large wheel on low resolution spinner will not be a pleasant gaming experience. Original arcade optical steering wheels were very high resolution thanks to a geared encoder wheel, similar to that used on a game like Arkanoid. That means you will either need to turn the wheel several times more than what would normally have been required, or you will have very poor control. A large wheel means more circumference and more inches of physical movement per turn, so this will just exacerbate the issue. The TT2 is far superior in this regard.
Just an FYI.

Who is EZ Arcade ???? Who owns it ??? how long have they been producing these. From what I can make out they are significantly technically inferior to GGG TurboTwist2.

I was wondering if Randy was going to chime in here. I too noticed the wheel. I went and emailed them and was told the spinner is <cough> 50 transitions per revolution. Weren't the Tempest and Oscar Vortex twice that?

BTW, have emailed Andy@Ultimarc and he has the Slikstik spinner tops FS, also on request he has added the the all silver version to the online store.
