I bought a replacement monitor at Video Display Corp for about $70. The trackball was not too bad to rebuild. I also used your Magic Eraser advice to clean up the grime. Now it plays great. Thanks again for all the tips. I had to put the Centipede project on hold for a while, but I finally got it working this week. I bought a replacement monitor at Video Display Corp for about $70.

It has two trackballs and one is broken very badly and will not roll. It's great you have a page that details this rebuild. Thanks for all the tips.
