Brian Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Can anyone direct me to a place where I can buy a trak-ball controller for the 5200? Or point me to someone with the technical know-how to fix an old one? Best Electronics used to have them but they're out, and I guess the guy that did repairs has retired. Help! I need a working trak-ball! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amityville315 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Amazon/eBay/craigslist are good starting points. I got one that kinda worked at a flea market and then found a broken one on craigslist that I used for parts. With a few simple repairs, I was good to go! Good luck! They are very cool to own. It's a pity more games aren't trakball friendly on the 5200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool80skid Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) There are a few CIB listings on ebay. They range from $50 to $75 with shipping. If it's in good working order it's well worth the price. Edited May 27, 2016 by Oldschool80skid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
