Re: Major Havoc Whirlygig Owners

I chucked it in a Lathe and took a little bit off it :-) That's the same

Right now I just have one of his opaque green rollers in my original roller assembly.. It works great, although it may have a flat spot in it now as well. I guess I don't play it enough if I can't remember :(
