Suzo/Wico 2 1/4" Trackball Mounting into Wood ?
« on: March 19, 2002, 08:28:51 am »
Hi,

Does anybody know how I can mount a Suzo/Wico 2 1/4" trackball into a wooden control panel. I checked the catalogues and they don't seem to sell mounting plates  :'(

For the 3" you can use the happs mounting plates... So you can probably get the 2 1/4 happs mounting plates without a problem

Ok thanks for that I was looking at the happ one for the 2 1/4". Maybe someone who owns one could let me if these dimensions are ok then :

The Suzo Trackballs screw points are 2 1/2" apart. The ball hole is 1 7/8" but the actuall raised point which will match the plate hole is 2 2/8"

Any info would be great

Cheers

Thanks for the link, however it doesn't show the actual size of the hole the raised cyclinder on the trackball needs to fit in. Nore does it show the spacings between the mounting holes on the trackball. If I can get these I will know if it will fit.

Im hoping that all trackballs (amusement ones anyway) use the same size hole and mount positions.

I have a Wico 2/14 trackball with a Happ's mounting plate and it works great.

By the way, how can I order at Happ UK? I can't find a special website of them, do they accept orders via web?
Would be much easier for me, 'cause I need shipment to Germany. ???

Thanx, webby!

Oh well, I fear that means I have to phone them? My english is just to bad to tell them on the phone what I need. (Maybe I should practise how to spell letters when they want my adress ;))

Well, maybe I should send them a telefax, that should make it somehow easier. Damned I haven't got a faxmodem anymore since DSL!
Do they have a printed catalogue, by the way?
