What did you build the pot box out of?

Here's a diagram of the circuitry:



Numbers correspond with pins on the joystick port. This circuit was constructed twice for using with both C64 controller ports, and all four potentiometers.

You are using 100k pots... how is the pots response compared to the 500k pots AlphA suggests ??

And if i may ask, what are the 4700pF (caps?) for ?

who didn't google now?

Actually, i did but only found external articles with theoretical discussions of how to make the pots more responsive - like this one http://sound.westhost.com/pots.htm (see fig.9) and all i ever heard from forum-users was '500k' even when i played around with feedback the answer was '500k - only works for the last 1/3 of the way... live with it' .... hehe, Alpha suggests 500k also, so i thought this was some groundbreaking discovery - like that guy who removed R8 from his S2S earlier today *LOL* now what was his name

Thx for the link ron

thanks worked for me perfectly as well, 100k pots with 4700pf capacitors work so much better than 500k.
shame your console looks so much nicer than mine!
