Anyone know what this thing is? I found it in an old box.. what game was it from? Not an optical spinner.. It has 4 switches that press when the knob is turned to that side, and the whole knob acts as a spring loaded pushbutton to press the 5th switch on the bottom.

Sounds as if it acts like a Front Line controller. Doesn't look like the photos I have seen of one though.

Check out the two top entries at http://newwiki.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?title=Joystick_Database.

AFAIK, the only six games that used this type of controller are:

Bandido (rotary switch, clone of Sheriff)
Frontline (Taito Aim-n-Fire)
Sheriff (rotary switch)
The Tin Star (Taito Aim-n-Fire)
Western Gun Part II (rotary switch, clone of Sheriff)
Wild Western (Taito Aim-n-Fire)
