I bought a $7.99 wal-mart brand ages 2+ driving toy and canabalized the steering wheel.  Getting the yellow knob off of the Ms. Pac-TV stick was a matter of hammers, knives, nippers, and pliers.  It was really on there and I had to destroy it to get it off.  I used 2-part epoxy to permanently afix the steering wheel to the shaft.

MameMe:
Do you have any pics of the jakks inside, especially the potentiometer?  I'm a visual pain in the --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- eh?

MinerAl:
The inside of the Jakks toy is REALLY well labeled.  the joystick directions are labeled "right," "left," "up," and "down."  The potentiometer is all burried at the bottom of the joystick mechanism, but once you have the board out, it's fairly easy to take apart.

I don't have any pictures of it at the moment, but I can go see what I can dig up tonight after work.

MameMe:
Cool thanks.  I can't wait.  :angel:

I've never seen a pot (arcade pot) before so I may have questions on how to hook it up to a wheel down the road.

I know the pacman jakks is labelled pretty good as well.  I'll have to crack that mspacman open and stop being so :o.
