Trackball Preparation
Install the metal trackball plate by following these steps:
1. Cut out the template (see template-page 49) with a pair of scissors along the noted line. Tape this
template to the top of the control panel as far away from the monitor as possible, making sure that the
trackball will clear the cabinet beneath it. NOTE: Installing the trackball as far away from the monitor as
possible will prevent players' hands from hitting the monitor glass when rolling the trackball forward.
2. Using a sharp object, mark the eight points shown on the template on the control panel. Using a pencil,
trace the outside of the template. Remove the template.
3. Drill Holes 1-4 with a 9/32" or 5/16" drill bit.
4. Drill Holes 5-8 with a ¾" drill bit.
5. Route the crosshatched region to a depth of about .075" (about the thickness of a nickel).
6. Using a sabre saw cut out the center portion by cutting between holes 5-8.
7. Once you have cleaned up the routed area, install the trackball plate into the control panel using the ¼"
Flat Washers and ¼-20 Nylon Hex Nuts. Be sure the mounting plate is flush with the top of the control
panel.
NOTE: At this time you are only installing the trackball plate, do not install the trackball yet.
Button Preparation
The following are the steps you should take to prepare your control panel for the installation of the button
assemblies:
1. Cut out the template(s) (see template-page 53).
2. Cut along the dotted line to separate the templates.
3. Using a tape measure, measure the specified distances from the center of the trackball hole in the
trackball plate and make a mark for both the left and right button reference points.
4. Lay each template over the appropriate reference marking point. Mark the centers of the remaining holes
using a sharp object.
5. Drill a 1 1/8" hole at each marked point.
NOTE: Do NOT install the trackball or buttons until the control panel graphics have been applied.
Control Panel Overlay Installation
Silver Strike Bowling comes with an oversized control panel overlay that will accommodate a variety of existing
game cabinets, but works best on Golden Tee Fore®, NFL® Blitz™ and EA Sports™ PGA Tour® Golf cabinets.
Follow these instructions to correctly install the control panel overlay on one of these cabinets:
1. Make sure that the newly drilled control panel has a smooth, clean surface. Sand where necessary to
make sure the graphics are installed on an even surface.
2. Clean the control panel to make sure it is free from dust, grease, metal filings, etc. Make sure that all
residues (adhesive, overlay material, etc.) from the previous control panel graphics are removed. This
will ensure a clean, easy, and beautiful application of the control panel graphics.
3. It is very important that the trackball and control panel graphics be mounted perfectly straight.
Find the center of your trackball template and lightly draw vertical and horizontal guidelines on the control
panel, marking out your centering lines.
4. Remove a small section of the protective backing from the overlay. Carefully center the overlay over the
control panel by lining up the die-cut hole with the trackball template. Be sure the graphic is positioned
perfectly straight. Line up your pencil guidelines with the lines incorporated into the art. Once in
position, gently press down on the section with exposed adhesive, affixing the overlay into place. Once
affixed, the overlay cannot be removed.
