Trackball question, rusty bearings ?
spystyle:
Hello from Maine,
Well gosh this is my first trackball install.
A Neo Geo Gauntlet with trackball ? Is it an abomination? I think maybe it is :)
I got an old Betson Imperial and it doesn't roll, so I opened it up and the bearings are rusty.
Where can I get new bearings for this?
Thanks :)
Craig
UPDATE : Solved ! Just search eBay or Google or your hardware store for :
Bearings "R4 ZZ"

Happs controls sales them, I once had shafts worse off than those, I just soaked them in simple green a few days and cleaned them right up! Those bearings look really bad off though.

talk to divemaster over on the buy sell trade he can get them to you for a good deal.

Oh that's an idea, I actually have some high tech rust remover called "Evaporust"

I'll give them a soak :)
I thought maybe the hardware store might have some bearings too, I'll take a look but I'll probably find that theirs are the wrong size.
Thanks,
Craig

I've seen bearings in Lowes. No idea if they're the right size though
Possibly rollerblade wheel bearings might work.
Those look pretty bad off. Not sure if soaking would help much.
