I would get a 3" arcade trackball, and call it good.

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.

Stingray:

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.
