Hi guys, I'm finally (after years of dreaming) getting myself ready to build a cab this year. I'm currently pricing everything, figuring out lists of what I'll need etc..
Along the way I found the T stick plus, which seems like the best solution for people who want to play both 4 way and 8 way games. The red ball top looks great, and reminds me of my old days playing pacman..
but then... I saw the stainless steel ball tops from SlikStik.
ooOOOoohh............... ;D
Does anyone know if these are compatable... can you put the SS handle in the T stick plus?
Thanks in advance for any answers :)

nobody know? :(
(i realise it's the weekend and some people dont come online over the weekend)

doubt they will fit. you should contact slikstik though, they may be able to make one for you that fits.

Actually I read in another thread that they (slikstik) were thinking about making a version for the T-sticks.
On the other hand, there was recently a thread about how the dust washers can not easily be removed from t-stick plus balltop handles. There is a flange halfway along the stick (and a ball on top obviously). So a one piece machined handle can't have a dust washer. Not sure if that's a problem, but it might be an issue holding them back.
Maybe just a metal ball with threads that you can screw on the top of an original t-stick plus balltop handle?

The overpriced SlikStik Stainless Steel ball tops will not fit on a T-Slick Plus.
-
yeah... I just got an email back from them saying pretty much the same thing. Something to do with the springs not being strong enough or something for the extra weight?
I dunno
Anyway, thanks for the information!
(red ball tops here i come) ;D
