: : : Just wondering, I remember those things had a continuos range of motion, were they optical? If so, it seems like they might be able to provide some parts for a spinner...
Look for info on Atari Jaguar Tempest 2000 spinners, they use those controllers for a spinner hack. I've heard the Indy 500 paddles being called mechanical style optical encoders, they only have 4 pulses for a full spin so they don't work well as spinner.
