Last two:

6 Down Spinner, Controller and Cutter (5, 5)
I have T?R?E ?A?E?

27 Across Leaders of society paraded here to hold a ball in olden times (7)
I have S?H?E?E

I am reasonably happy that the letters I have are correct but I am open to any suggestions that an odd one could be wrong!

27a sphaere

6d three somethings?

I like your 27 Across - looks right and I thank you for it.

I agree with three somethings but what are the somethings?

3 sails??

sorry, ignore me.

Thanks for the suggestion, Trevor, but I am fairly sure the E in the second word is correct - it comes from 19 Across Churchman with power to convert (6) for which I have REVAMP. If SAILS were correct the answer to 19 Across would have to fit ?L?A?P

Possibly THREE TAPES: see "Numerical Control" in wikipaedia (but it's very technical).

three fates
clotho,lachesis,atropos

I withdraw my suggestion: tony's obviously right (again)!!!
