That's what I've been doing. I'm sure that when the time is right I'll be able to find a pair though. :)

Lilwolf:

btw, NOS guns SHOULD go for that much.

I'm curious. how do you interface a gun that has pots? if you are going MAME?  isn't it analog not digital, I'm confused.  I'm sitting on 4 guns that came out of a Gun Buster machine( similar to Doom).  I want to unload these and will be posting on Ebay.  I'm currently working on my 2nd MAME cab. 

Kremmit:

You can hack the pots on your guns to the guts of a PC analog gamepad or PC analog joystick.  But the donor gamepad/joystick must use the same value pots as the ones on your guns-  If the guns use 5k pots (most arcade parts do), then you must find a controller that used 5k pots internally, which most of them don't (PC parts usually use 100k pots).  The Microsoft Dual Strike and the Logitech Wingman have been reported to have the correct pots.  Anybody know of any others?  We should start a list.  In fact, I'm gonna start a new topic for that.

Or, you can buy the A-Pac at www.ultimarc.com, or the AKI at http://dave.bit2000.com/.  These are interface boards designed to interface any arcade part that uses pots, whatever the pot value.
