What to add to a Happ order
« on: March 09, 2004, 11:57:40 pm »
Hi all,

I'm thinking I'll get one of the "high lip" 3" trackballs from Happ this month while they are on sale and I'm curious if there is anything else I should throw into my order. Are there any particular things you used that you found you could only get from them, or that you assumed you could do without and then changed your mind and had to order seperately? I'll be getting joysticks from Ultimarc along with my encoder as soon as Andy gets the rest of the ball-tops in <waits semi-patiently> so I don't need those.

thanks,
eli

Yeah,

I've considered getting one from you as well. I thought I might have a little more flexibility with a high lipped one since I'm not sure what I'll be covering my CP with (or even if I'll go with wood or metal at this point.)

Black bolts/nuts or a mounting plate to mount your trackball??  I found black bolts to be useful and I don't know of may places to get them.   Pushbuttons? Push button wrench?  T-molding?  Monitor bezel?  I dunno, what do you need for your cab?  Those were some suggestions I had.

You can take

Also, one of those Pushbutton Wrenches are good to have around.  You can get by without one, but they make tightening down your pushbuttons so much easier.  Get the one called the 'Illuminated Pushbutton Wrench' - it has one end that handles regular buttons.  Their website shows the current price at $2.40.

Get the mounting plate... Can't stress that enough.  The high lip trackball comes with a spacer that you can use even if you decide to use a metal control panel, or no covering for your wood control panel that still makes it flush.

Maybe a translucent trackball? :-D

I would get everything from www.therealbobroberts.com except Happ rotary joysticks or Perfect 360 joysticks, which Bob doesn't sell.
