3 months old Suzo/Ultimarc-Trackball - corrosion/rust normal?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Harakiri:
Ok, it may seem not the brightest idea but i have a guitar and the guitar has some screws that i want intact for as much time as possible so, i painted them black "to match the guitar colours"! :P

You can paint those and you'll be never having problems again! I don't know if paint will mess the bearring sensitivity...  ???

AndyWarne:
This is only an idler bearing. The actual shafts which do the real work are coated with plastic. I can't see this causing any problem in operation.

Andy - I just wanted to know if all suzo-trackballs have this after three(!) months. If so, they are totally crap in my opinion.

When I don't play for some time, there is rust on the corrosion again and I've brown smears over the trackball again - isn't this problem enough? I'm just a bit upset, as I can't belive that this is normal for a brandnew trackball.

Carsten Carlos:
Ok, a different example.

You buy a brandnew car that gets rust after three months.  :o What does the dealer say when you ask for warranty?

Hope some others can tell me who is wrong. Maybe its just me - but after all, shouldn't this be a customer-friendly world?


P.S.: Just to make clear - I made this public for a) wanting to know if anyone had similar experiences b) making things clear per email turned in circles c) I'm not a trackball-expert

paigeoliver:
The problem could very well be that your friend did SOMETHING to start the thing rusting, and you never quite got rid of the rust all the way, so it just keeps doing it (rust spreads).

I really doubt that is normal. I have owned 4 different arcade trackballs (from 1983, 1988, 1995, and a new one), and none of them had nor developed any rust whatsoever.
