Want to share a speedy version of my quest to get a trackball into one of my candy cabs! :-)= I wanna play Combat School & Cabal!! :P
Arcadefever sent me a WICO 2 1/4" trackball, old skool feel, all is well.

After some careful marking, I realised that the trackball unit is just too damn big for the cab...

So it started with sawing chunks out of the trackball housing:

A bit from the control panel housing:

And then grinding away one some of the vertical uprights that re-enforces the strength of the control panel... (I dont need that! ;D )

I went and bought a hole cutter which comes with the world's biggest allen key...
