You don't think you have to donate anything.  You can send the boards to the MAME dumping project, they dump them, then they send them back to you.

I'm sure there are people who would like to have scans of  the artwork as well.  Same deal, you don't have to donate anything, just allow people to scan them.

Where are you located geographically?  Maybe someone on the dumping team can visit you and dump the board at your place.  (I'm just guessing here, I'm not on the dumping team.)

Regardless, try to impress on your brother the importance of preserving games for MAME.  Heck, have him read this thread.

All right.  As for your original question, let's see some pics of the trackball.
chinabox:
Thanks Peale :)

Are pictures 16 and 17 on this page good enough?  http://home.rochester.rr.com/sparer/good/cab_pics.htm

As for the dumping project, I like the concept!  I will get to that as soon as my cab starts to take shape.  I will not destory any artwork or hardware in the mean time.  Sound good to everyone?  The blessed Champioship Bowling cab is safe!

Glad to hear that. If your brother is interested in getting a good price for the board or cab, we might be able to purchase it from him, although we would greatly prefer to borrow the board just long enough to dump it than buy the board or cab.
