Is action different between a highball trackball and official GT trackball?
(1/3) > >>
rackoon:
I am building a three sided cocktail table and already have a official GT trackball for the horizonital side of of my cab but I'm thinking of having the trackball stick up through the glass on top of cab and will need a highball to do this.

I have not yet bought the other trackball for the vertical side but was planning on getting a 2 1/4 but will use my 3" GT trackball if I have to and get a new highball for the horizontal side.

If there is a big difference besides the height of the ball? Can I swap parts or something to make the high ball official or work properly? :dunno

If you have happs GT trackball, the only difference between the high ball is one piece:
That's it.  You can buy just that part (highball part # 95-1604-00) and swap them; I have.  Also look at happs exploded views of the two TBs see the shared pieces.

That's actually pretty interesting...  So in essence I can just buy that part for my USB/PS2 Happ Trackball and everything will be raised like a high-ball?

I don't have that model, but I would think so.  AFAIK the only difference between the arcade versions and the ps2/usb version are the two sensor boards.  As long as the main usb board just sticks out sideways, I don't see any problems.  Could you post a picture of the main board installed in the TB case for me to check?
Popcorrin:
I actually have the top piece of a highball that I would be willing to part with. Let me know if you want it.

And yes, that is the only difference with the trackballs is the top piece.  All the different optics are interchangeable.
