: I recently bought 2 happs 3" trackballs and they both have a real tough
: time rolling, it's even worse when they're installed in my panel.
: Any ideas on what it could be, or are there some adjustments I
: should make.
Check how tightly you fastened the trackball to the mounting plate. I noticed very little clearance on ONE SIDE of mt trackball, which was causing it to hang. I fixed the problem by loosening the bolts that keep the trackball against the mounting plate a bit. Rolls freely at all times now.
: While I'm at it, one of the clamps that hold my metal cp down is
: getting a little loose. Is there anyway to tighten these up?
: When I'm playing rougher games like Robotron the cp slips a little
: bit in the horizontal.
Try using turnbuckles, if it works on your cabinet.
: thanks!!
