| Trackball.... Atari? Happs? |
| (1/1) |
| LeedsFan:
I'm currently making up a shopping list of all the parts I need for my 2 player CP project. I've decided on a "3 Inch HighBall" trackball unit. These are sold by the RealBobRoberts for $80 but are listed as Atari with Happs "Y" harness. Is this the exact same unit as the one sold by Andy at Ultimarc? The reason I ask is because I will be buying leaf switches and buttons from BobRoberts but the cost of this trackball unit is almost half the price from him. (Due to current pound/dollar conversion rate). Of course I have to factor in shipping. But I definitely don't want to skimp on quality. If the one Andy sells is much better quality then I will get that. But if the units are identical then I may as well order from BobRoberts with the leaf buttons and save some money. |

You might want to get quotes from Divemaster and Ponyboy. They both sell the Happ stuff at a considerable discount. The shipping from Ultimarc gets more reasonable as you buy more. They have a $12 base price, but they cap your cost on it. If you order a huge order the shipping is nothing from them. Bob Robert's shipping has always been very reasonable when I've ordered from him. I don't think he has any markup on his shipping. He boxes your order up, weighs it, and then posts it when your check arrives. Sorry I can't help you on the "which one has higher quality". All the trackballs I've owned have been Happs, and I've always been completely satisfied with them, so I haven't ever ordered one from Ultimarc. That said, everything that I HAVE ordered from Ultimarc has been top-notch, so I wouldn't expect that you'd be disappointed with his trackballs. |

(Except on BobRoberts I could only find: "Replacement 3" High-Ball TB Unit" which I think is the same, and "Atari Replacement TB Units Midi 3" complete w *Y* harness by Happ" which is not the highball model.) |
