I have a Missile Command and I am about to start with getting the thing up and going and I need some parts for it that are in bad shape. The trackball is rough and pitted in several places. I am looking for a replacement but searching the webs, I didn't not find any place that sells a replacement. It is the big trackball. I believe it is 4" or 4.5".

Any assistance would be appreciated in pointing me in the direction of one.

Thanks.

I think they used to sell them but don't have them anymore. I saw a cached version of the site that had it but search the site now and there are none.

Yeah, I plan to. The bearings are no bueno and I could clean up the rollers but might as well get the kit.

So ArcadeShop sells a 4" ball and roller and bearing kits. I double checked my machine and the ball on mine is the 4.5" ball. Happ sells a 4.5" ball in red, green, and blue. Would it be a bad thing to use a color ball for a replacement? I could probably get a friend to make me new rollers for it.
