A Mame machine in an antique buffet - USB probs solved (I think!)
drventure:
The globe would be best, but I also came across this (3" dia wooden contact juggling ball, incidentally, I happen to be into contact juggling also, so I could use this even if it didn't get used in my cab!)
drventure:
Ok, last post on the subject (at least for now).
But I gotta say, this as a trackball would rock (it's 4.5" though, so that sucks)

Happs sells a 4.5" trackball assembly. You can also find them on the original Atari trackball games like Missile Command and Atari Football.
Would kind of fit with the steampunk/old-tech theme.
drventure:
Whoa momma!
Hadn't seen that before, but it's probably because I'd have fallen over at the price :(
Still, that would make an awesome trackball if it was tough enough to stand up to the abuse.
But since my CP's already built and assembled (and it's be REALLY rough to retrofit that 4.5 inch mounting plate now) I'm afraid that one will have to wait.
I do however have a line on a different crystal globe (with imprinted continents no less) that's 3" and might work, but they have a minimum order of 6, at 40$ apiece, I'll have to get em to so a small order for me or find the same globe elsewhere, but it might work
I'll post when I find out more.
Thanks for the Happ pointer though. Definitely something to keep in mind!

Good luck with this one.
Fantastic idea, and could be a great, unique machine.
I'll be watching this one! :applaud:
