Loved that game, the spinner was surprisingly tactile, like the tuning dial in old valve radios. I wasted a lot of money in that Tempest machine. I built a Raspberry Pi based MAME cabinet but is has a button and joystick panel. I need to add a spinner so I can play Tempest properly..... and a trackball for Marble Madness... and three extra joysticks for Gauntlet.... Andy
