Atari 5200 Trak-Ball Servicing & Replacement | Atari CX-53 Trackball
With Atari, trackballs, and 5200 all in the news, what better time to open up & test an almost-new, complete-in-box Atari 5200 Pro-Line Trak-Ball controller from 1983! And that's exactly what Jon did last week, but discovered that 40-year-old controller had a trackball which had yellowed dramatcially over time. With the advice of GenXGrownUp viewers, in this video we replace that yellowed ball with a brand new compatible cue-ball to bring this unit back to its original glory!
