I had an email some time ago from someone who wanted to hook up a Tron spinner to an Opti-PAC +.
He sent schematics and I sent a reply with some suggestions on how to connect it. I never heard if he was sucessful. If you email me I'll search through previous emails and try to find it.

: I just recently picked up a used Tron control panel with a blue handle(schweet!) However much to my dissapointment the panel was in fairly poor shape...It was very rusty among other things. I took it over ot my girfriends dads shop and dismantled the unit and then sandblasted the rusty parts....all I can say is wow....looks practically brand new....the spinner now spins and the all the rubber on the joystick is in great condition. My question has to do with the spinner...has anyone ever used a tron spinner with a Ke72 or similar device? or would it just be easier to replace the original Tron circuit with say either a mouse hack or a Happ Optical Encoder? Thanks...also would you guys consider it blasphemous to convert a Karate Champ upright? I don't consider it to be that classic of a game...although it is a single player cab. Anyways as always thanks for any input.
