Well, I have been bidding on a Discs of Tron spinner assembly for my
environmental Discs of Tron recently.... yet, other people who want it for a
MAME cabinet are also bidding.... I find it absurd that "fakers" are using
parts from an original (thereby destroying the capability of original owners to
repair)! Granted, people have the right to purchase what they will, but,
sorry, your piece of crap MAME cabinet will NEVER look like my EDOT.... and
that's half the fun in owning an upright video game. Oh boy, you'll have a
fluorescent light! Wow! EDOT has a total of about 20 lights that pertain to
game functions.....

Annoying to you, yes. Absurd, no. Alot of people want spinners &
trackballs for MAME cabinets. They're expensive, so people choose used.
Look at the plus side.. If you happen to sell one one day, you've got a
larger market for it. ;-)

Here's a trick for you collectors (myself being a collector and a MAME cabinet
builder) - the folks building a MAME want "a" spinner, meaning any spinner. If
you see someone with a Tron spinner offer them a very nice condition Arkanoid
spinner and they'd probably trade, offer them an old trackball and they'll
probably trade for that too. Most MAMErs really don't care what it really is
they just want to have a spinner.

Since you can't get a spinner, are you looking to sell your cabinet then? I
bet it will make a sweet MAME setup... although might have to widen it a bit
to get the second player in there.

Actually your cabinet is #1 on my want list... And I know that after buying it
and paying to get it home, and paying for a big enough gameroom to put that
in, I probably won't have enough cash left over to compete for a spinner
myself.
