Thanks for sharing your experience Joel; you've reminded me why I bought the 
second Trackman. The bearing material had worn away to nothing, and the left 
switch was nearing the end of it's life. I'd have a go at replacing the switch but I 
haven't yet found an elegant replacement for the bearing material. 

Thanks again,                                                               Ian
