I have a Tempest spinner assembly and Star Wars yoke for sale. The Tempest spinner has a NOS knob and spins nicely. If you want a spinner that makes the BRRRRrrr sound, well, you'll want another spinner. This one is smooth.

The Star Wars yoke needs TLC. The overlay for the yoke needs to be replaced. The wiring in the left hand trigger assembly needs to be soldered together. It's no longer connected. Two new micro-switches were installed into the left trigger, but not soldered in. The wires for all the goodies up front need to be run down the center shaft again, and wires need to be added to the pot in the rear. Needs a molex connector to mate with the game's wiring harness. One of four of the tapped holes that hold the cover in place has a broken screw in it, so you'll want to extract it or drill it out. The cover removes fine for your refurb. This yoke also comes with an extra original main gear, plus TWO repro main gears. And, it comes with a trigger rebuild kit, which has the two thumb switches and 4 springs (new in the bag). It also comes with two more new microswitches which you can fit into the right trigger or leave as spares. It needs work to bring it back to life, but all of the essentials are there. The movement of the yoke is smooth and works well.
