I hacked 6 of these controllers.  I am putting together a website with detailed pictures of the actual PCB with hacked wire locations.    The site should be up in a day or two.  Are you interested?

Best bet in Ebay.   Price for a working yoke including shipping is usually around $100.  Which seems like a lot but if you think you will have the arcade machine for years and years.....then what is $100 over many years.   Not much.  

Anyway, I do not have an extra yoke.  Sorry.  

PS: I hacked a StarWars yoke, Spy Hunter steering wheel, Sega Hang motorcycle assembly, two VirtualOn joysticks, 2 sets of VirtuaRacing gas/brake pedals, 4 types of shifters and around 20+ buttons.

that's sweet!  I've had my dual strike for over 6 months, but haven't come across a star wars yoke yet...of course I was coaching a football team for 5 months, so I wasn't really looking, either. :)

I like your idea about posting your hacks for all of us to see.  I could probably do it in my head after looking at 1up's write up so many times, but more info and clear pics are always good,  especially since you have taken the dual strike hack to a new level with all the different racing gear.

There is one on ebay now. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=13718&item=3266164500) I can't bring myself to bid on this one anymore.

Ya, I am interested.  Good show on that Mamey!  I checked out your site earlier, good pics. Sure wish I had a Skee ball machine.

Yeah, looks like a nice one on Ebay.

As for my pictures, the website I am currently using has a limit on how many people can view it during a day (which I found out is not that many  :'( ) so I am in the process of changing locations.   I will post another link to my arcade stuff in the Project Announcements section when it is set up..... hopefully in a couple of days.

Planet Jay has resonable webhosting options I think.  I think Rampy does webhosting as well.
