While we're on the subject of trackballs, anybody have any advice on how
to open up the trackball assembly itself?

I have a 270c whose trackball seems to have lost its grip, especially when
moved vertically -- often it will just spin & spin without grabbing
whatever it is it is supposed to grab. I imagine that it's like a desktop
trackball, in that there are little rollers that occasionally get gunked
up, as with mice.

Maybe I'm wrong; I have the service manual, but there doesn't seem to be
anything specific about how to get into & under the trackball itself (as
opposed to removing the assembly as a whole). Thanks,
