I thought I remember ready that the iCade 60-1 had issues with certain track balls.

I have a original track ball from a Centipede I'd like to install in my 60-1. Does anyone know if this is one of the trackballs that has an issue?

Thanks!

Won't work with a original Cent TB unless you update the optics.
 
Yes it does have an issue. I had to replace both optic boards in mine, but I've heard others say that there was a way to tweak the original ones.

I'm lazy so replacing the boards was my way. But if you need to replace the ball and/or rollers, it is way cheaper to buy a whole new trackball that is 60 in 1 ready - like this one:

You will also need a wire harness:

I thought I remember reading the older trackballs had an issue.

Maybe I'll try to shoe horn a 3" ball in there. Think I got a couple of those laying around
