Hey... Just curious as to how far everybody is going with their spinner projects that are going to be offered for sale. I recall two being mentioned, but can't think of the builders names off of the top of my head.
What sparked this sudden curiosity? Well, I had to pop out my CP to add one of the ball-tops a purchased from TNG Sales (I'd definitely recommend these distributors for some of the hard to find parts). While I was in there, I decided to fix a little problem I was having w/ my TwistySpinner. It got a little gooey inside, as it seems that scotch tape is an actual 'component' in the working sof the spinner, and I happened to use WD-40 every once in a while to give it a 'lube'. Seems that the two don't get along very well, and eventually my Twisty spun to a halt. Suffice it to say, I wouldn't recomment mixing the two...
Heh.. Anyway, due to my retardedness, when removing the spinner, I somehow allowed it to fall from the CP to the bottom of my cabinet. Well, um.. it's now in a variety of pieces. :) I'm sure I can get it all together again with a bit of glue, but figured now would be a perfect time to test out one of the newer spinners soon to be available.
Good luck to all,
Mike
