so i take this game in on trade and after i open it up to start repairing it i find this.
i call my customer and ask him about it and he tells me a great story how he bought it from somone local. we exchange names of the person and he says someone broke the trackball and he called his guy and he came in and put in a new trackball. i said ok that was it i didnt want him to feel like he was a fool for not looking.


any yes that is blue duck tape and quite a few wall plates

You gotta be kidding. So the outlet plate contacts the lightswitch plate when the panel is closed and holds the trackball in place?

Man, I have half-assed some repairs before, but nothing even close to this.
 
Damn, I bet he got charged for a new trackball too.

Hi Jeff,

Duct Tape....Sham WOW!!!

Nothing else like it. As I can see by the pictures you posted.... I guess the urban myth is true, you really can fix anything with Duct tape. And I thought is was just used to tape doors open O waite I can't do that anymore.

Was the owner of the cabinet mysteriously missing any wall plates and outlet covers after the "repair"?
