I have been wanting a mame cabinet for at least fifteen years now. I finally bought a dedicated control panel off craigslist for 50 dollars. I like the control panel. Nice and simple but I really want to add a trackball and possibly a spinner. Do you think there is room for a trackball?

I don't know if you've got enough real estate beneath the control panel to install a 3" trackball, but it will definitely be difficult to actually use one with such a tight layout. If a trackball and spinner are must-haves, I would seriously consider parting out that control panel and building from scratch.

Even a 2 1/4" arcade trackball wouldn't fit in there. :(

Add the mounting plate and it overlaps even worse. :badmood:

On a more positive note, a spinner like the Turbo Twist 2 from GGG or the SpinTrak from Ultimarc would easily fit -- they have a pushbutton-sized footprint. ;D

Well then a trackball will be out of question. What about putting a spinner in the middle? Would that be doable you think?

as Scott said, check out the Turbo Twist 2 from Groovy Game Gear.
It fits in the same sized hole as a standard button.
It has a small control board that you can mount on the under side on the cp.
you should have no problem fitting that in there
