Trackball in my Candy, oh yes...

[vib_ribbon]

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!! 

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!  )


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


Time to start cuttin'!


Oops, that doesnt work...


After much sweat and some blood... break through!!


GAME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!










The game is tough!!  Help me...
