Hi.

I'd like to pimp my Shuffleshot cab with a lit trackball. So I'm searching for a translucent 3" ball. Ball only, no complete trackball assy.

If you have one for sale, please PM. Also if you want to sell a complete trackball instead of the ball only

Cheers

Luigi

btw....I already searched over at Happ. They have what I want but look at the shipping cost

I contacted Suzo/Happ in the Netherlands. Maybe they are able to send a single 3" ball to me though it is not listed in their catalogue $:-\$

YES, you can have the one that's in my Centipede right now !!!

You can also have the LED that is currently illuminating it, it's red, not sure what color you want ?

I decided I'm going back to original....I played Tyrem's Centi a few weeks ago and I noticed that the original ball is just a bit heavier and for me that plays nicer.....that will also mean I'm converting back the fire button to original so if you want a translucent fire button too....

Oh crap......Centi is only 2 1/4".......stupid US measurements keep me confused.....sorry man

@level42: no problem, my friend

@Chris: thanks, that's a very interesting offer there. BUT I need the ball only and I don't think these are translucent

Yes, they are white :/

WAIT WAIT WAIT , Thorsten do NOT get just "any" kind of translucent trackball !

The ONLY REALLY nice one is sold by Groovy Game Gear and it's called "Electric ICE V2.0"

I had a "regular" translucent ball before and it looked......shit.

THIS is what you want if you want it to look really good:

I also checked, if you select the ball only it's only $16,90 shipping to Germany.....but I highly suggest getting one of their LED solutions, they rock and you are sure of a great lighting, you really need a VERY powerful LED source under the ball, I swear if you look into this one you get blind...

Dug up some scaringly old pics:

Old "regular" translucent red ball.....it acts like a lens ! This also means terrible light shining in your eyes while playing, really irritating !

First pic: unlit
Second: lit

......

Electric ICE ball:

First pic: unlit -> White appearance

Next pic, lit -> even glow ! (Don't look at the button, that's still the old one).

It's very hard to take good pics of this....

some more....

The best impression is probably the last picture....anyway, none of these do it justice.....it's better in reality.
