Which Vendors Sell Lighted Ball Tops?

[Charles4400]

I'm looking for lighted ball tops (hopefully some which fit the Magstick Plus)...

Does anyone know of any vendors which sell lighted ball tops in general?

I used to make a range of lighted ball tops for various joysticks but I have been out of action due to work commitments and other projects.

Luigi (BYOAC member) can supply lighted ball tops for the Sanwa JLW-TM-8, Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT and Seimitsu LS-32. You can see his website [here].

If you ever get back to making them let me know!

I'm looking for the Ultimarc Long Handle Balltops (72mm (2 7/8 in) for under-panel mounting.
) for the Magstick Plus.

Thanks for the link I'll look into that as well....

Any other manufacturers out there that anyone knows of?

Sanwa has a range of balltops, so if you can find a way of modifying them for the Mag-stik plus, all the power to ya.
I remember there being a thread on removing the tops from the Mag-stik plus handles somewhere on here, try a search, it could be a good start.

I may get chance to do you a couple this weekend whilst doing some shafts for other people. I'm going to need exact dimensions of the shaft though. Does any one have a magstick shaft they could measure with a Veriner or similar? Failing that I may try asking Andy at Ultimarc to see if he would be willing to give me the dimensions.

Franco, I have digital metric calipers and a magstick plus long shaft what dimensions would you like?

Charles what dose that 72mm refer to?

We would be interested in "outsourcing" supply of lighted ball-tops based on the ex-Slikstik design. Its something I have on the list but fully occupied by another project right now. If this does not work out we will still produce them.
The Mag-Stik and U360 have special challenges when it comes to lighting but I believe its possible in a way which can be productionized.
Anyone interested in this, and has sucessfully produced lighted tops drop me an email.

Managed to get something set up for this already, so we are working on it...
