Wanted: 5200 Trak-Ball Controller

[Albert]

I posted this in the Tempest 5200 thread, but I figured I'd start a new thread for more exposure.

 

I need to spend some time testing Tempest 5200 with the Trak-Ball controller, which I planned on doing this evening. Unfortunately, I discovered that the Trak-Ball controller I recently bought on eBay doesn't work properly. I swear I tested it when I received it a month ago, so not sure what's up with that. Does anyone have a known working Trak-Ball controller they can either loan me or sell me?

 

Thanks,

I've got a couple of them, let me know if you still need to borrow one.

I had a new in box one that I tested before putting it away and it worked great, a year or so later it does not move up or down anymore just left and right. I took it apart to see if maybe it got dust or something in the way of the spinwheel but it was clean as a whistle!

 

Super bummed as I wanted to play some Missle Command old school style since my Joysticks are not working correctly.
