Title: Affordable trackballs
Post by: fantoboy on September 02, 2012, 12:12:10 am

Are there any cheaper trackballs that have mounting plates available?  I see these available, but not sure about mounting them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Arcade-Trackball-2-1-4-MAME-PS2-PS-2-LED-LIGHTS-UP-/261055571540?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc81fe654 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Arcade-Trackball-2-1-4-MAME-PS2-PS-2-LED-LIGHTS-UP-/261055571540?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc81fe654)

That looks like the one that paradisearcadeshop sells for about the same.

As far as mounting, I would guess you drill out the openings and bolt holes in a metal CP or create your own mounting plate for a wood CP similar to vanillagorilla's wide-body taito
