major havoc tempest conversion here, couple questions

I want to consider getting the green roller and putting it in this game.

Is it particularly complicated to wire this roller in? Or is it very simple, such as changing out a joystick?

Also, out of curiosity, what would stop a guy from buying a cab from dpwitz, getting the art from phoenixarcade, and having a dedicated game worth $3000+?

I mean, am I way off base with this idea?
 
I'm actually thinking of doing the same to mine. I was speaking to a certain "guy in the biz" and he had some inside info that the Tempest conversion CPO and marquee overlays will be available very soon and by a guy who is known for his quality. The CPOs will be available with no cut out for the spinner to allow you to add a roller if desired. I eventually plan on doing this. I don't see why the spinner wires would be any different than the roller it's basically the same circuit just on a rotated axis. However, I do remember seeing a diagram to change one to the other somewhere.
 
well I think I just bought gamer4life's MH spinner from ram control, so I am on my way. He says it's plug and play.

As far as buying a cab from dpwitz, seems like a decent option to get pretty close to original huh?
 
I saw that in the for sale section earlier. I was tempted to buy it. I just have too many sticks in the fire at the moment so to speak.
