Need help finding ball tops......
« on: September 15, 2009, 06:51:09 pm »
Can anyone tell where I can find either:

1. Chrome/stainless steel ball tops with standard 6mm threading
2. Someone that would be willing to fabricate above
3. An extensive selection of colors for ball tops

I really don't want to have to use black in order to match my CP.......

These are for an UltraStik 360 which Andy from UltiMarc says is "compatible with all 6mm thread tops, which include Sanwa and Seimitsu etc"

The colors I'm looking for if I can't get chrome/stainless steel are blue and green. I'm trying to match these buttons with the chrome borders. I'll be using chrome t-molding as well, and I think that chrome ball tops would look the best.....

I don't know if they have what you are looking for, but I've found ball tops that I could find elsewhere at lizardlick.com before.

I did look there, and it seems like they MIGHT have some that would do as far as the colors go, but I'd still rather have the chrome......

i have seen a few chrome/stainless steel balltops, but they are usually a full replacement shaft as well.  what kind of joysticks are these for?
GroovyGameGear has some

I also noticed DreamAuthentics.com offers them as an upgrade to their cabinets...perhaps if you contacted them, they would sell you just the joysticks.

You may have trouble matching them up to the ultralux as the seimitsu and sanwa colours are quite pale... almost pastel.

They certainly clash with Happ/IL buttons.
