Build Your Own Arcade Controls can you say (Tron Spinner!)

A friend of mine got me on this kick to see if i could build my own arcade spinner plus if you had to buy one there $60 to $130 bucks. So here is my prototype












































I used the guts from a ps2 mouse that is what the circuit board and the encoder wheel is from. The rest of it is a metal plate with a screen door baring spot welded to it, with a threaded rod with a nut on each side. The the spinner nob is from an IBM typewriter the encoder wheel is held on by shrink tub that works pretty well by the way. I have no idea where i got the bract from it was a mount for a fan. I have to find a better way to mount it all but it works.
