Ultrastik 360 replacement ball top question
« on: June 29, 2014, 06:50:02 pm »
Hello!

I'm still fairly new to the arcade scene so please forgive what may be a stupid question.

I own a pair of Ultrastik 360 ball top joysticks that I will be putting in my arcade project.  Ultimarc does offer different color replacement balls, but not white specifically.

Can anyone tell me if a standard Sanwa 35mm ball will fit, or if the threads are different?  Are there any other sources for a white ball top if so?

Yes, the standard ball tops fit, I got mine from groovygamegear.  The problem is, the stock tops are not 35mm, they are like 32 or something, so if you replace one with a 35mm with the intent of keeping the second with the stock color, it will not match well..

I picked up the smoke tops for my 360's from Paradise Arcade. They fit perfectly.
