Ramses Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) I picked up a Millipede cabinet (my first arcade machine!) the other day and I want to replace the trackball. Has anyone here had any experience installing an illuminated trackball? I'm wondering what would be the best and/or easiest way to supply power to it.

Cynicaster Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I've got an Ultimarc U-Trak on my MAME cabinet (www.ultimarc.com), with a translucent white ball that is lit from underneath. I hacked together my own lighting setup but Ultimarc sells lighting kits for this purpose, so you may want to check them out. One thing though--isn't Millipede a 2" ball? I think Centipede is, anyway. The kit I have is a 3" trackball, so maybe none of it will work for your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramses Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Cool thanks. Actually, Millipede uses a 3" trackball, but it shouldn't make any difference. I believe all the illuminated trackballs require 12v. Edited February 19, 2014 by Ramses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
