Sweet

Just recently Ive been seeing several auctions for translucent(but not lighted) balltop sticks- red green n blue. A couple of those, some translucent buttons(also been goin around lately) and you'd have one bad mama-jamma of a CP me thinks

That is sharp.

Too bad that the balls don't screw off/on.  That way, the LED could be changed to fit the theme.

Brad Lee,

Would you happen to know the name of a/the stockist for those translucent buttons. I have no seen them available in Asutralia and would be tempted to have some shipped over.

Cheers mate!

There's recently been a few people who got translucent resin kits and have been making those ball-tops from molds.

They look pretty cool, but too expensive for me.

There is one thing that concerns me though. Is it possible to replace the LED if it breaks?

They appear to be made by the same guy who sells the replacement ball top handles for the Happ joysticks. According to previous threads his handles are very high quality.

He mentions that the red translucents stick fit the competition base... Anyone know if they will fit the supers or P360s?

I think the consensus recently was that the Wico replacements actually fit the P360s the best.  Not sure about the supers with comp handles.
