Following along, I'm in the middle of a sinbad reassembly/build (got as fully disassembled restore wip).

On the spinner somewhere I have post bookmarked about drilling and adding weight to them, if I find it I'll post it up. That said in the one's i've had if they are properly adjusted with a tiny amount of lube they spin pretty good.

I got some from Jameco a while back. somewhat more expensive than the ones you listed. Image does not match the item I recieved on the Jameco listing. Don't know about the ebay ones, if they are what they say they are they should work.

wow, that looks amazing, I love how that handle looks. may need to get me one of those cricut things.

Clear would be cool, didn't notice it at first either, but black seems to always get my vote. goes with anything, great contrast, only time I wouldn't vote black is if the area behind it was black.

very impressive sinbad, I hope mine turns out 1/10th as well whenever it makes it to the top of the list.

white will be interesting to see.

If that's a Pascal board it's one of the chips on there gone flakey. I've had a few do that, chips are pretty cheap and socketed so easy swap. Shoot Pascal a message and he can tell you which one, they work in pairs.
