Mike,
I'm making spinners for sale. My website is http://www.fultra.com/arcade
I planned to have them ready by now, but I had to have some machining done, and I am moving this weekend. I expect that Sunday (4/9/00) I will be able to put finalize everything and offer them for sale.
My website, this messageboard, and the mame newsgroup will have postings when they are ready.
Thanks for your interest.
: 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
