It says "Capcom on the circuit board and you can depress the spinner and it triggers a microswitch. If they are nothing special I am going to use one in my friends Donkeynoid machine.

Interesting, never heard of the game, Looks kind of cool. Anyone know about how much one is worth? otherwise I am just going to change the optic board and use it in a 60 in 1.

Probably pretty valuable, most push down spinners are.
 
Unique to forgotten worlds. Don't waste them in a game that does not need them.. Your looking at $100+ each easy.. I would think ebay them and maybe someone might go crazy money on them... You should probably take a better pic. If they have the capcom emblem in the top, it would be worth more..

Also if someone is interested, I have some unpopulated forgotten world control panels. Overlay is decent. They were NOS(or very lightly used), but they got stacked and the pressed in bolts damaged the overlays..

Thanks bill that what I was figuring, a new spinner costs about $60 so I will just purchase one and sell these.

WTF is a Donkey Noid?

An abomination, I suppose..

Isn't that like an ex-wife or ex-girlfriend or something? One that HATES your arcade addiction and threatens to sell it all behind your back to make room for a sofa that never gets used and that you don't need anyway?

Custom artwork for a friend that loves DK and Arkanoid. He bought a arkanoid cab 4-5 years ago in a nintendo cab. I sent him a Custom CP and Marquee with 1 joystick and a spinner. So he could still play arkanoid with a spinner, and then get the 59 other game to play on the same machine. he has limited space. I am now working on a 4 player custom artwork package with a multi Jamma set up.

If you got them where I think you got them from then I'll apologize for the way we stacked those panels now...

vendtronics back in the day.. You worked there too? Did all of those come without spinners? I think out of the dozen panels I grabbed, maybe there was 6 or 7 spinners.

congrats og the sale.. I though $75 was alot when I sold the controllers off like 8 years ago.. Spain was a surprise.

I worked for a local Operator on Lafayette Street in Santa Clara. He had in "in" with Capcom and would get a lot of their "junk." He came to the shop one day with 100's of fully populated Lost World, Street Fighter 1 and some soccer ticket game control panels. We just toss them around and mostly used them for screws! LOL!

EDIT: I was trying to find some info on the Soccer ticket game online but cant find anything. My boss drove up to Capcom one day to see two or three guys in the back the back of the building reaching into the backs of cabinets with hammers, hitting something then closing them back up and shoving the ENTIRE GAME into the dumpster! He stopped them about midway through the 75 cab destruction process. We were able to grab all of the cabs they tossed in the can and the rest of the games still in the building. The games they broke the CRT's on still had good deflection boards, Deltronics DL-1275 ticket mechs, coin doors and fully populated control panels with buttons and illuminated Happ 3" red trackballs. The rest of the games actually worked and had brand new Wells K7000's in them!

Lafayette was jim hill and amusement systems. Ventronics was on memorex dr and I think the owners name was greg mcnabb. I thought it was greg whow scored the games from capcom.
