I have 2 on a Blades of Steel that are shot. Does anyone know where I could send them to get refurbished?

Thanks!
 
Have you tried pulling them apart and cleaning them? There is really nothing to them. What there is, there are kits to replace the bearings, rollers and idlers. Give it a try. If I can do it,anyone can.
 
Thanks! How much do the kits run?

Depends on what you need. Check Bob Roberts, he has a bunch. I've seen the bearings and rollers go for $30 a set.

I was going to post a question about trackballs later, after I take some photos. My rollers have big gouges in them from use and I can't figure out what size to get.

Do a Google search for trackball cleaning. Lots of useful info.

Good luck.
 
wilco/atari

I see there is a wilco and an atari kit, how do I know which one to buy? I'm assuming Wilco?

Did you pull it out and look at the casing? Mine had Imperial stamped on the case. There are a bunch of different ones out there. Get the manual for your game, if it's original equipment there is probably information on it in the manual.
