Quoted from dmarston:I was involved in operating back then, so I've followed the history of the game from its beginning. I've never heard of anyone offering to pay extra for a black spinner, even though that is what you see on the flyer. Maybe the availability of black spinners from Twin Win is a factor.
I have a complete black spinner ass. from a twin win - I bought it to install in my Fireball as I think the black spinner looks better, or at least different.. I like having both though as the orange is original.
Every Fireball I have seen for sale with a black spinner had a corresponding low production number consistent with a genuine early production game. Prices seem about the same more or less but the early games with black spinners seem to sell straight away.
