I would get a 3" arcade trackball, and call it good.
ChadTower:
My advice:
If money is the issue, and you already have an Atari home trackball around, use it.
If money is not the issue, spend the extra $100 and get a real trackball. You can cheap out on a lot of stuff with a cab but the controls really shouldn't be one of them. The controls are your interface to the experience.

You can buy a real Betson 3" trackball used for about $30. What does the Atari home TB usually sell for?

ChadTower:
No idea as they're not easy to find. It was a low production item 25 years ago.
Stingray:
Yeah, that was kind of my point. Why dismantle a hard to find Atari item when you could spend right about that same kind of money and get yourself a genuine arcade trackball? You won't even have to search hard to find one. I'll bet a WTB ad in the B/S/T forum would turn up a used TB within a day.
