Tom61 had posted some pics of a trackball he found for 4$ at an online surplus store. See his msg way down the list at the link below. I ordered 3 of them from http://www.ctrsurplus.com and they arrived today. These things are built to last! My 3 came really dirty but hey for $4, I can spare the cleaner and time. The ball is as heavy as a cue ball! This thing feels like a centipede machine, is made from aluminum and is optical. I will try and get some decent shots with my webcam, and figure out the pinout this weekend. These were from sort of medical device and use a 15 pin port. More details soon, but my advice is to get one, even if you need to gut it for a spinner!
