I am asking here instead of the classifieds.
Does anyone know of any spinners made in 1" size? If so, who made them?
I have never been able to find one. (???)
Thanks,
Bill <><

Bill - one of our club members makes them from aluminum and I make them from carbon fiber/fiberglass. They're a bit labor-intensive and therefore a bit pricey.

Bill,

Tatone,Froom and Veco made spinners in this size way back when. Is this just a curiousity question or are you looking for one? I'm not positive but I think I have a couple. Will go through the "goody box" to see if you need one.

Later, John

Hi John,
Yes and no! LOL!!!!
The smallest ones I have ever seen from Veco/Froom were 1 1/8th, but I had *thought* they made a 1".
I need one for the Little Legend USA-1. Needle or regular.
Please LMK,
Thanks!

I have about 50 NOS Veco Spinners, in the box. They are like new. I am almost positive that I have some 1" jobs.

Email me if you like.

Currell,
Your e-mail not available. I am interested, but Bill Little gets first shot if you only have one.

Currell has excellent spinners. Thanks for the two I recently purchased. Arrived last week. Absolutely mint.

Roger,

Looks like Currel has the answer for both you and Bill. I did check the box and have two of them but no backplates. I'll help if I can but I think the NOS would solve the problem.

Thanks John. Will contact you if I can locate backplate(s).

Currell, sent an e-mail, but it was the wrong address ???
Basically, it said Bill Little should have first "dibs" as he posed the initial inquiry.

Roger,

Bill and I have been in contact and he is getting mine so feel free to work with Currell for your needs. Looks like this worked out well for all concerned.

Bill,

If you can stand the idea, the C*x plastics come with a snap-on, very light spinner.

You'll probably use a NorVel??? The C*x prop "nut" for these is tapped 5-40 USF so is too small for the NorVel prop bolt to fit through. You can drill and then ream the C*x barrel-nut to J U S T clear the NorV prop bolt.

Strangely enough, these plastic ARF spinners don't seem to vibrate!

Smallest may be about 1.125" D, is that close enough?

Bill,
We dont do "hooked up!", in the Spring Breaker connotation, but we are are working on a spinner for my Little Legend. Thanks for posting the original question.

Sorry, I have been asleep at the keyboard here.

Tony Naccarato bought a huge bunch of the ACE 1" spinners some time ago. You can get ahold of him at [email protected] or by phone at 818-842-5062. His shop is open on Tues - Sat.

Those were fairly blunt, but very light spinners molded in Nylon.

Thanks, Larry!
It would be nice to have a few more of them around!
I'll give Tony a call.
