Happ Analog Strigger Stick question

[zaphod]

I recently picked up a Happ trigger stick from ebay, part 95-0392-00-  http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/95006500.htm.

Before I start fumbling with it, has anyone worked with this part before and, if so, can you help with the pin outs?  This looks like it might make a good substitute for a Tron stick on a future control panel.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Well being that Tron is an 8-way game with barely perceptable diagonals and that is an Analog joystick, well, its like trying to play Pac-Man with a flight stick. Not the right stick at all.

As Paige said, those sticks are really nice for analog stuff, but won't do well on digital games.
As far as I know, they are the same ones currently used in Star Wars Trilogy cabs though.

Put that way, my original idea was right silly.  

Has anyone worked with one of these before, though?

I have one, and one of Dave's AKI cards to interface it.
I've played with them a bit, but haven't actually mounted it in my cab yet.

I built my own 8-way trigger stick, after seeing how expensive they can be.  It was really easy.  I just went to the thrift store, found a cheap flight stick, and removed the grips, and button assemblies, and grafted them on to an 8-way joystick I had here.  I had to grind down the 'bat' on the 8-way to get the grip to fit, but it works great, and looks pretty good, too.

FYI,
I just saw this Tron control on ebay, if anyone is interested?
