Convert old ADB throttle to USB?

[zatoh]

I have an old CH throttle for Mac ADB that's been sitting in my closet for years. I was wondering if it was possible to put in a USB cable from the CH Parts department and convert it to USB to use with my PC?

I don't think that is possible, the wiring and electronics are different.

Thanks.

I kind of thought that was the case, but then I noticed that you can buy the USB wiring from CH Products and that got me thinking. I wonder if I could replace all of the wiring and electronics, and if I did, would it be cheaper. A throttle costs about ¥18,000 here, which is more than a new Asus P4P800 deluxe motherboard.

I have also noticed that I can buy buttons, wires, and roller drums for a stick, which has gotten me thinking about a floor mounted long-throw, home-built stick for WWII sims.

Are you talking about the OEM USB kit?

I'm wondering the same thing. I have a complete stick, throttle and pedals set and I want to get back into flying sims. No other stick can match the quality and feel of the CH sticks and it seems like such a waste to get rid of the old set up. Is there a way to convert the ADB to USB?

CH have not sold the circuit boards in the past and don't now as far as I know, even if you could buy them you would likely find it cheaper to buy a new USB stick from somewhere like Provantage who sell them for under $100 where you would also gain from having a full product warranty.

Wow! I've never seen such low prices for those.
