trackball repair
Question from Alex: Hey guys! Recently I received my first arcade game from a friend, its a Capcom Bowling game the version that came in a cabinet. He was giving it away because it was just taking up too much space for him. The cabinet isn’t in the best of condition, but the game itself works. Well, besides one thing. The trackball the game uses doesn’t seem to like to register whenever you move it to the left. All that it does is actually move the ball to the right. So essentially the game can only read up, down, and right which works if you move it left or right. I was wondering why it might be behaving like that and what there is to fix it. I can provide you more information about the game if needed.
Thanks!
Alex

Response from Tim: Hi Alex. You need to take it apart and clean it might just be a dirty encoder wheel or sensor. Also check all the wiring going to it.
Maybe we will shoot a video on this.
