LoRDDeVO:
Are those grips from the spinny lollypop thingies or from the spinny light thingies the have at raves?

I'm amazed there was no comment on the color of the grips--you must have been biting your tongue...it will all be painted gloss black when the time comes.

Yeah I kind of was bitting my tongue.  I figured you were probably going to paint them.  And now that LoRDDeVO has mentioned it, they do look like the grips off of some candy lollipop toy.  I hope they are sturdy enough for you.

This is what I'm talking about.

Nope.  The pot (potentiometer) needs to have a linear taper not a audio taper.   Now if you replaced the pot in the pedal with a 100K linear taper pot, you could hook it up directly to the gameport on the pc.  If the pedal turns the pot only part of the way, you could use a large value pot.  100K linear pots are easy to find so I would try that route first.

Damn, I wish you would have said something before the auction, I could have brought you the real thing to check out.  What areas do you need to see?
menace:
Mighty kind of you brax--I could use a shot from the rear with its cover off (that didn't sound very good did it...) so i can see the x pot and a close top down shot so i can see the Y pot. thats about it!  thanks again! ;D
