I just saw one on ebay, but the bid had ended before I could get my coin in for it. They are pretty rare it seems. I called Happs up, and they say no-go. Wico I don't think has them... so I'm in the same boat as you. I have an actual Frontline PCB (no original control panel) and I wanted to add one of those 8 way with push microswith spinners on the one I've built. In the time being, I tried using a modified Ikari type stick (8 way rotary), but there is no way to mount a good "fire" button procedure. ( I did think of using something similar to the Smash TV control, but it just wouldn't feel or work right)If I had 3 hands I'd be ok. Oh well, if Fultra can come up with one from his below post, I'd be jumping in on the bandwagon too.
: Has anyone developed a spinner that will work like the ones in either Discs of Tron or Frontline? If not is there a place the sells NOS or Replacement parts for these?
