Hey guys,
I wanted to give everyone a status update on the reproduction Tempest spinner controller. I've got everything done except for zinc plating of the frame and the knobs. The knobs are going to be a pain, but I'll get them done. I have a sample reproduction knob from another arcade collector to use in the meantime and it's pictured in the photos. I'm also working on reproduction encoder boards, but the spinner will mount HAPP red boards (as well as OEM encoder boards), so I'll be using them for now.
This is the very first reproduction spinner off the production line, just before having them zinc plated.
Here we go:
Note that the frame is slightly taller than an OEM frame to accommodate the R4 ball bearings which are mounted to the top and bottom of the frame.
If some customers don't want the ball bearings, these can be setup to operate exactly like the OEM spinners without the ball bearings, replacing them with polymer bearings instead.
Everything else is to OEM spec.
Dave
