Cabal and Wico Track Balls

well the Cabal manual mentions a "Track Ball Adaptor." ..."in order to have the track balls function properly with the trackballs not made in Japan, you must use the adaptor below to make the specification OPEN COLLECTOR."

It shows a Wico track ball in the manual and then gives the wire code to the jamma harness. I gave both track balls power and wired them up and got nothing. Ground and power were all good. Made sure that I paired the axis wires correctly so if they were flipped that I could just switch them with the aligator clips I had them hooked up with.

I tried two track balls and got no movement on the cursors... ARG...

would dips settings effect this? Small vs Large track balls...
 
When I had a Cabal there was a small interface board wired between the game PCB and the trackballs. I dont think you can directly wire a trackball directly to the PCB and get it to work.
