Imperial Trackball...
rampy:
If you are super broke, you can get the imperial betson refurbished model... for 29.99 (usually) 3" arcade model direct from betson.com (where you were looking). Also note u_Rebel's advice about the navigation.
Can't beat that (unless you get a bad refurb or something)

About the same in quality. Personally, I like my 3" happs a little better than my 3" betson, but both are great. Biggest difference you'll notice is the betson case is a lot bigger than the happs; you might have to enlarge the cutout for the trackball if you mounted on wood.
Some old posts by me:
one
two
Did you know you can buy replacement parts for your happs from happs and bobroberts? Bob roberts lists them as atari trackballs. Might be cheaper to fix than buying a new one. (Of course, you can buy a new TB and fix your old one, and have two TBs.)

I have the 3" PS2 and it is pretty nice. But the feel is different than both my Crystal Castles trackball (Atari 3" Rebuilt), or a Golden Tee one.

rampy: nah, i've got a bit of cash, enough to buy any of the trackballs.
really, i think it's just a prob w/ the optic board, and i could buy a new one, just lookin for an alternative.
thanks for the help guys, i'll brood over it for a while :-\
