I want to add an external Volume control knob to my cabinet. I'm running a wire out of my sound card and into the arcade speaker that was originally in the cabinet (works great and I get game sound that's very true to classic game sound). If I were to go to Radio Shack to get a volume control...what kind of piece exactly would I be looking for (there's all kinds) and how would I wire it in?

: Hi - early cabinet stage here.

: Where do folks normally put a volume control on their cabinet? Does it make more sense to use the ~ key to control volume? What do real arcade machines use? A big knob on the side might be cool.

: Thanks,
