Spy Hunter 2, Space Encounters Yokes... what to do?

[mahuti]

So I've had a Spyhunter 2 yoke sitting around since 2005 and a Space Encounters machine with yoke  sitting around almost as long. Both Yokes only turn about 45* left/right. The Space Encounters has push pull.

I have a few questions.

1. I'm guessing I could get the Spyhunter 2 yoke working for Spyhunter 1 (and 2.. shrug). Anyone have any ideas what else I could use them for?

Spyhunter 2 has a reflective sensor. Not sure about the Space Encounters.

2. It's been so long since I've been out of this, I don't have any clue what the best board for this type of control would be.

Thoughts?

A-PAC or U-HID Nano FTW from http://www.ultimarc.com/

I would try to mount a potentiometer for these limited movement wheels.

A-pac. Hah hah. Well at least some things haven't changed in 10 years. 

As for the pot... what would the value of that be? To adjust sensitivity on the fly or something?
