Just buy a Xin Mo usb interface like I did for about $30, mine works great.

PBJ found a cheap USB encoder on Ebay.  It's only $15, and that includes a bundle of wires, and free shipping to the US.

I found that previous post with the pin layout and tried soldering one together today.  It didn't quite work out though, probably due to my terrible soldering skills.  :dunno

seantk, you'll be pleased to learn the above encoder, is promoted by its Chinese sellers as having the following benefit ...

Just to add,

PBJ and Vigo are both very impressed with the $15 USB encoder boards.  Vigo's so impressed that he's purchased 35 of them, and is selling them for $14.75 which includes free US domestic shipping.

So buy one through Vigo, you'll be supporting a member of the BYOAC community.  You'll also save yourself a quarter to use with your coin box !


Here's a picture of Vigo's stock, and the encoder board's instruction manual (both are obtained from the thread I've linked to above) :
