Where can I get a bike-type cable that has a slide-type lever end like a studio sound system controller slide?
The travel needs to be about 3 inches. Another description of this slide switch (if you are not understanding): Like the "transporter" slide switches that can be seen on the original StarTrek TV series. I plan to mount it on a hand held controller box and use it to rotate a device with the other end of the cable.
Levers that move cables are usually designed around a pivoting point so that the lever has some mechanical advantage over the cable. But there is machinery, like lawn mower speed controls, that sometimes do move in, well, a narrower range of an arc, so that the movement seems flatter. You could look at small commercial machines for such a cable.
