I've been buying from Happ Controls for almost 15 years to make interfaces
for museum interactives. Their products will stand up to severe pounding.
I've been using the same trackball with my regular PC for 12 years and I've
only had to clean and oil it once. When I took it apart to oil the bearings,
it looked like one of the rollers had worn a bit, so I wrapped a piece of
Scotch Magic Tape (R) around the shaft, and it has been working fine for the
last two years.

I don't recall this being mentioned before, but I've found that Happ
Controls (
http://www.happcontrols.com) has everything you need to build a
proper MAME setup. The buttons are reasonably priced. The trackball will
give you a bit of heartburn. The spinner is a must-have. Don't buy a coin
door from Happ. You can get them on eBay for about $30 + shipping.
