Ah, this prooves my thought that the Ultimarc trackballs are Suzo's (STC Rotterdam embossed on the ring around the ball).

I'd say that the red actualy rolls about as good (or bad ?) as the Atari home version I "felt" recently. Not bad for a very cheap trackball.....if you can find one....

Thanks all - I ended up going with the Atari version (probably manufactured by Happ) from Bob Roberts.  He could get me a black ball for no charge, and I needed other stuff from him anyway.

One thing I always do to old TB's is apply 3-in-1 oil (available at Home Depot for ~$3) to the bearings.  I clean them in WD-40 first, and oly use 2 drops.  Then I run them in the palm of my hand for about a minute in each direction.

They spin like a mofo after that  ;).  Try that and see how much of a difference it makes.

I never thought about using a drill.  I have a set of bearings that have a TON of rust on them.  I bet a drop of "lock lubricant" (contains a touch of graphite) would scrub off that rust!
