Trackball Mounting Dilemna...HELP!!

[oldskoolcade]

Hi guys!

   I just got back from Starburst Coin in T.O., where I picked up a mounting plate for my Imperial Trackball (which I picked up from Peale a few weeks ago).  

   So I get home, and I'm thinking something's not right.  Is the metal mounting plate supposed to sit flat on the top surface of the trackball housing?   The reason I ask, is because the 4 holes in each direction beside the ball itself, seem to be too small for the metal posts coming out from the metal mountingplate.   I told the guy there that it was an imperial trackball, and that's the one he gave me.   Is it the wrong one, or am I wrong in thinking it's supposed to sit flush.   As it stands right now, the posts fit into where the holes are -  just not into holes themselves (it sits on top, with the posts acting like a spacer)

Help!

Thanks gang!
Mike

Maybe it's actually a wico trackball? (they are quite similar if I recall correctly).

Do you have a digi camera?  I'd like to help a fellow Canuk.  the guys are Starburst -usually- know what they are doing, so it shouldn't be too tricky to fix.

You might have to drill out the mounting holes in the trackball housing a little bit for the mounting plate to fit.  I think that's been posted a few times before.



Yep, here is something about it...

You guys are awesome!!  I drilled the holes in the casing a little wider and whaddyaknow...a perfect fit...   I had thought about doing that, but I was petrified that I might cause damage to something inside.

Thanks again!!
