.: Oscar Controls Push/Pull spinner

This product is currently OUT OF STOCK.

The Oscar Controls Push/Pull spinner replicates the action of the original Discs of Tron spinner control.

Some modifications to the original design were implemented to simplify the installation into wood control panels.

.: Features

All steel construction with many of the components bright zinc plated or stainless steel. The spinner frame is fabricated from 1/8" thick commercial quality steel for the strongest and most durable design available in any spinner!

Same bearing and sleeve design as the original Discs of Tron spinner. The Oscar Controls Push/Pull spinner has the same push/pull action as the original controller. Spinning action is simultaneous with the push/pull action.

True leaf switches for authentic feel - no microswitches!

Anti-fatigue springs fabricated from hardened, tempered, polished, and blued spring steel for maximum lifespan.

A huge, zinc plated 4", 72 tooth encoder wheel.

All components are professionally fabricated, either laser cut or screw machined.

Same mounting hole size & locations as the original Discs of Tron and Tron spinners.

.: Connection to encoder interface

The connection header on the optic board has 4 pins labeled:

  +5V
  GND
  S1
  S2

The +5V and GND pins are to be wired to your encoder's similarly labeled connections.  The S1 & S2 pins are to be wired to your encoder's signal input connections (X1 & X2 for the Opti-PAC,  A3 & B3 for the Hagstrom ME4, etc).  A receptacle connector is included with the Pro spinner for making the wire connections.  A small, flat head screwdriver is all that is required for inserting the wires into the connector.  Recommended wire size is 22 gauge stranded.

.: USB Mouse interface

The optional USB mouse interface allows the spinner to be connected directly to your PC's USB port.  The USB mouse interface is compatible with Windows98/Me/2000/XP.

The spinner may be used on either the x- or y-axis with the USB mouse interface, and it also supports axis-reversing.

.: Installation

An installation document is available here in Adobe Acrobat format.  The spinner frame is approximately 5" x 5".  Please allow for 4" of mounting depth for the push action of the spinner.

A drilling template is available here.  When printing this template, ensure that you do not have any automatic scaling features enabled and that it prints at 100% scale.
