WTB: Missile Cmd or Crystal Castles CP [NC - US]
(1/2) > >>
lasersoup:
I'd really like to find a Missile Command CP sans without cone buttons or even a trackball of similar size. I think Crystal Castles had a larger trackball, 4" or 4.5".  Any advice on trackballs is greatly appreciated too.
Lutus:
This stuff has been covered before but I don't mind starting it up again.

The trackball stuff, as far as I know no-one is reproducing the 4.5" trackball assemblies but this company has remakes of the ball and roller kits.

The same company also has the cone buttons.

You can probably buy an old broken trackball off of ebay and replace the ball and roller kits and then you will need to interface that with an optical encoder.  Haven't done that before so I can't be of much help there.

HappControls sells a 4.5" trackball:

Would that help?
XtraSmiley:
I have a spare CC control panel, but the ball is 3" so probably no help to you.

That does help, thanks, it's a little out of what I can pay right now but if nothing else I can save up and get it later.

Let me know how much. For some reason I was thinking the CC had a bigger ball but it goes to show I'm a n00b. It might be a case of beggars can't be choosers.

Thanks again.
