| Level42:
Anybody knows what trackball this is ? And if so, is it any good ? Thx |
| RayB:
It is an Atari trackball, most likely from a cocktail Missile Command. (Though it could also be from a Centipede--I'm not sure if they had switched to the plastic housing yet by that time). |

I have one (MC cocktail). I rebuilt the TBs. Definitely not drum. And Level, to be 100% sure what game that TB came from, all we need is the part number stamped on the top. (Looks exactly like mine though) |

Just a second vote for MC cocktail. I've come across them several times when looking for the 4.5" giants for the stand-up. Almost always referred to as Missile Command ball in auctions, I think even the first Centipedes had a more modern/less square and machined looking chasis. |
