SlikStik Stainless Steel ball tops compatable with Ultimarc T Stick Plus?

[hunky_artist]

Hi guys, I'm finally (after years of dreaming) getting myself ready to build a cab this year. I'm currently pricing everything, figuring out lists of what I'll need etc..

Along the way I found the T stick plus, which seems like the best solution for people who want to play both 4 way and 8 way games. The red ball top looks great, and reminds me of my old days playing pacman..

but then... I saw the stainless steel ball tops from SlikStik.

ooOOOoohh...............  

Does anyone know if these are compatable... can you put the SS handle in the T stick plus?

Thanks in advance for any answers

doubt they will fit.  you should contact slikstik though, they may be able to make one for you that fits.

Actually I read in another thread that they (slikstik) were thinking about making a version for the T-sticks.

On the other hand, there was recently a thread about how the dust washers can not easily be removed from t-stick plus balltop handles. There is a flange halfway along the stick (and a ball on top obviously). So a one piece machined handle can't have a dust washer. Not sure if that's a problem, but it might be an issue holding them back.

Maybe just a metal ball with threads that you can screw on the top of an original t-stick plus balltop handle?

The overpriced SlikStik Stainless Steel ball tops will not fit on a T-Slick Plus.

yeah... I just got an email back from them saying pretty much the same thing. Something to do with the springs not being strong enough or something for the extra weight?

I dunno

Anyway, thanks for the information!
