Not long -- which is why I thought it could possibly have shipped with one,
but was long gone by the time I ever saw it in an arcade. My machine looks
like it went into a personal collection early in it's life.

Hmm -- having a soft grip on the spinner does make the game a bit easier
though. Time to start looking for a replacement I guess !
