Spring loaded potentiometer -- joystick/mouse hack?
jerryjanis:
Whoa! I just noticed the price on those! $25 apiece?!? I got my a pair of joysticks by accident, actually. There was an auction for a complete World Series Baseball control panel, so I bid a dollar as sort of a joke. Nobody else made any bids, so I won it for $0.01!!! It ended up costing another $12.00 or so for shipping, but just so you know, you might be able to get them a bit cheaper on Ebay.
Here's a picture of my setup:

Jerry,
Thanks a lot for the advice. I will definitely take a look at the joystick hack and see what I can do with it.
It is likely to not go directly into my control panel but onto the side, so hopefully I can build a little box for it and attach it that way. Thank you for posting the picture, that'll help too.
