Spinners designed for Mame, used for Atari paddle games

Could I use the Dual Strike USB hack? I think the atari paddles and the Dual Strike both use 5k pots.

If you can't find original Atari 2600 paddles in decent condition, you may be interested to know that Jakk's released a paddle version of their TV game units (those 'play umpteen old Atari games all built into this retro-style joystick that you plug into your TV' things). Dunno how easily hackable they are...

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually got one of these for Christmas. It made me want to play Kaboom! again with a real paddle. Kaboom! was an activision game and the Jakk's system only has Atari software on it. I might opwn mine up and see how it works though.
I may end up going with the Dual Strike hack though.
