U360 hollow shaft and balltop. Where to buy?

AndyWarne:

We do sell longer shafts.

But I would be interested in feedback from anyone using hollow shafts with this type of "fixed" LED wiring. I would be worried that the wires would become stretched and affect play if the handle is rotated, which it would be eventually, but maybe its not an issue.

Derrick Renaud:

How about a U360H(ollow) manufactered with built-in stop pins so it does not turn much.  Then sell an optional LED balltop; switch balltop or even better, LED/Switch balltop.

AndyWarne:

I think play would be affected if the stick were limiting against pins. The best method is a rotating contact eg jack, but not easy to do on this stick. Not impossible though as it has been done.

A slip ring would be ideal for this situation, however I doubt an off the shelf item exists that would work.  This could leave the end of the shaft free to mount the magnet.

When I started the thread I was under the assumption that the LED works with the balltops & U360 hollow shafts.  Can someone chime in who has actually produced this setup.  I wasn't thinking about how the shaft would turn with the wires...good point.  Andy, I could see you selling a lot of these if it was something you could produce. Any thoughts?
