Griffindodd - In order to keep the bottom of the stick from rotating, you might want to consider using the Import Flight Stick from Paradise (Ultimarc carries them, too)
It has a hollow shaft and is tapped for screws to hold the sides in place.
LMK if you want pics of the inside. (Got onoe just sitting around)

The resolution on these cheap encoders is too low to be of use for spinner or steering wheel games,
but if it's only going to be used for the SNK rotary joystick games, this little one is interesting.
