USSEnterprise:
Is a spinner from Omega Race adaptable to a mouse hack?
cw:
no...........its pot based
ErikRuud:
KLOV says it's optical.

And I know, I used to spin the spinner to spray shots in all directions if I was getting cornered.

Looking at the photo on this auction, it certainly looks like an encoder of some sort and not a pot.

cw:
well on both my dedicated cabs its pot based......I can get a pic later today.  I can also get a scan or two of the manual.. 
ErikRuud:
That would be odd because...

Page 64 of this manual says encoder: http://www.arcadedocs.com/vidmanuals/O/OmegaRace.pdf

Page 78 lists it as an "Angle Encoder"

The schematics on Pages 95 & 98 lists it as a "Steering Encoder"
