what track ball are you going to use? I need to pick one up
for my metal CP.

gShooter:
I bought an Atari 2.25 inch at Arcadeshop.com. I also splurged and got the JAMMA trackball harness, powder coated cp (1 joystick, 5 buttons, trackball), and cp overlay. Very friendly, quick shipping.
Hardest part has been finding 3'' carriage bolts which I finally found at grooveygear.com at a decent price.
FlatEarth:
I am curious, which Arcadeshop.com control panel did you get for your Galaxian? The panels I see there are Galaga/MsPac panels, and from Crayola's experience I thought those panels are not a direct replacement for Galaxian/Pac cabs.
