trackball refit made it worse?
BobA:
Maybe you have a bad trackball. Sort of like a Monday car off the assy line. Gladly trade you for a used wico if you think it will help.
RandyT:
In response to the video, perhaps when you've put 500+ hours on yours, like the one on location, and all of the lubrication has left the bearings, causing the balls and races to wear to the point that they rattle around (you can actually hear them doing this in the video), then yours will be as free rolling. ;)

They aren't rattling.

That's the loudest, "non-rattling" trackball I've ever heard. Call it what you will, but that's bearing noise and it's from wear and/or lack of lubrication.
BobA:
Have not been able to find the PS/2 Wico trackball yet but am posting pictures of the Happ mounting plate it fits the 2 different trackballs just fine.
