I absolutely love my SS! The one thing I miss is a good spinner, nothing like making that shot that sends that spinner...well...spinning. What games have the best spinner?

Quoted from tdiddy:High Speeds are fun
+ 1 when they're oiled up.
Also most 70's EMS with spinners that activate the chimes are just so satisfying to hit.
The spinners in Big Game are pretty awesome if you have them set up to spin for days. The sounds for them change depending on if the spinners are lit or not, and if the one is lit when you rip it the sound is like a bunch of high pitch jungle birds chirping. haha. Love it. I also love that the spinners are right next to each other. If you hit the inside one just right and hard enough, it will feed the right flippers and allow for a shot to the outside flipper. It is always rewarding to be able to hit the second spinner while the first is still spinning.
WMS Grand Prix and Gtlb Buccaneer come to mind. Not easy shots, and the associated light show was always cool. Classic Ballys and Sterns always seemed to have a great spinner shot as well.

Even though they are virtual, i like the spinners on Star Wars Episode 1. the best part is, they never need to be fixed.
Nothing beats the satisfaction of a solid spinner shot!
Besides the already mentioned Grand Prix, and Aztec, some other mid-70's Williams games with great spinners are Space Mission/Space Odyssey, Hot Tip, and Wild Card.
A couple of bowling themed games with fun spinners that come to mind are 300/Top Score and Strikes & Spares.

I would have to say Grand Prix is the best one I have played on an EM. Meteor is one of my favorites if set up properly that thing can spin all day... I also do like the ACDC War Machine spinner (or Play Ball on my machine).
I love spinners. Nine Ball is my favorite. there is a skill shot to instantly max it out. Rip the spinner banking into the ball lock, simply awesome!
Gottlieb Rock Star and Stern RBION.
Quoted from Astropin:WPT's are pretty cool. They sound like shuffling poker chips when you hit them. You can also get the ball going and hit them consecutively since they are both on the outer loop.
+1 for WPT. Love the chips sound as well as seeing the pot value increase when you hit the orbit spinners!
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:some other mid-70's Williams games with great spinners are Space Mission/Space Odyssey, Hot Tip, and Wild Card.
you forgot Blue Chip! Dual spinners baby!
also, Kitsap? used to live on Bainbridge.
+3 Williams GrandPrix-
Got mine well tuned and they rotate about 80+ turns... with a chime at every turn and lights racing.... so000 sweet to just nail it pure...

video or it didn't happen! 
Quoted from Blackbeard:5"2'. 125lbs. Best spinners.
125 lbs?? Ouch...
No....try 5' 0" and 105 lbs. Now THATS a spinner!
Oh pinball?!? Try STINGRAY. Stern '88. Game has chimes so when you rip the spinner, the chimes go nuts. Classic.
Class of 1812 - hit the spinner hard and Dracula will say "blah blah, blah, blah, blah blah".... to the sound of the spinner.
New pin? I like Iron Man spinners as they ignite the Iron Monger.
Quoted from Crispin:My favorite feeling spinner is Paragon
+1 for Paragon.
I'd also mention Sorcerer. Those two spinner shots are low enough to require a good shot. I love the one on the left that sends you up to the pops.
For really cool spinner sounds, check out Frontier and MSF. Also Transformers when super spinners lit sounds pretty cool. +1 on STTNG when super spinner is lit.

Quoted from RayGun:Stern Kiss camera shutter spinner is my fav so far
Lol, nice thread resurrection!
The spinners are why I bought my Williams Grand Prix!
