Modding a Wico Command Control?

Hi,

I have a couple of old Wico Command Control (bat) from my commodore 64 and I loved those joysticks.  I was wondering if they could be modded and placed on an arcade control panel and hooked up to an I-Pac?

Here's a picture of the said joystick: http://atariace.com/images/atariace.com/atari/images/joysticks/wico_command_control.jpg

Thank you for your help!

Yep, that could be done easily.  Cut the plug off, find out which wire is ground and which are for which direction/button, and you're all good.

Option #2 - Wire up a 9 pin D-sub so you don't have to chop off the connector.

C64 used this pinout configuration.

Same basic pinout as Atari 2600 joysticks.

I used to have one of those, it is easily hooked up but not so easily mounted.
