Beautiful cabinet Frank! I doubt mine will look anywhere near as good (if I
ever get around to building one).

You're not the first person to say that. In fact, the last time I heard
something like that I had to respond: "your not so normal either, your Honor!
Nor are any on this, so called, psychiatric panel. Why don't you all go...."
but I digress.
So how did you get a big enough hole in a MOTM panel to allow a joystick to
rotate fully? It looks like my non-computer joysticks (see 2 below) need
about an inch or more diameter. I'm surprised this joystick thread died as
quickly as it did, considering the once a month "alternative controller"
thread which arises here.
Joystick resource:
ALLTRONICS San Jose CA (408) 943-9773
http://www.alltronics.com1) Kraft two button joystick (PC compatible) $3.95 -- 97C022
2) Joystick -- two 150K pots (these look like they might be for control seats
or mirrors in a car, they have an old door lock style "stick" with a wide
diameter head -- maybe 1" -- they aren't spring return) $2.95 -- 93P05
These come from a catalog that is over a year old (but they haven't sent me a
new one so it's worth a try).
It is quite! I'm hoping everyone is so jazzed about Paul's idea of mounting a
DB-15 connector, and Celeste's Power Glove idea, that they are all working on
how to implement these modules.
