Just buy a Xin Mo usb interface like I did for about $30, mine works great.

PBJ found a cheap USB encoder on Ebay. It's only $15, and that includes a bundle of wires, and free shipping to the US.

I found that previous post with the pin layout and tried soldering one together today. It didn't quite work out though, probably due to my terrible soldering skills. :dunno

Just to add,
PBJ and Vigo are both very impressed with the $15 USB encoder boards. Vigo's so impressed that he's purchased 35 of them, and is selling them for $14.75 which includes free US domestic shipping.
So buy one through Vigo, you'll be supporting a member of the BYOAC community. You'll also save yourself a quarter to use with your coin box !
Here's a picture of Vigo's stock, and the encoder board's instruction manual (both are obtained from the thread I've linked to above) :
