NOTE
Instead of using two 3/8” hex nuts in each compartment, you can substitute six pennies
standing vertically.
Using the hot-glue gun, fill the dial with a sufficient amount of glue to keep the nuts in place
(Figure 8.34). Fill the center of the nuts and then the gaps around the sides of the nuts between the
edges of each compartment.Try not to get glue on the top outer edge of the dial or in the center
hole where the dial attaches to the potentiometer.
After the glue has had time to set, reattach the dial to the controller.You now have a weighted
5200 paddle controller that feels as though it belongs in an arcade!
