Post by: highland04 on December 16, 2005, 11:47:20 am
I need an over/under coin door, doesnt need to function, just for show.  also need a replacement ball for a 2 1/4" trackball...

is there anywhere other than (cheaper than) happ that i can find these?  not interested in anything i've seen on ebay.

thanks :).

You could try asking Ponyboy who is a happ distributor. His prices are usually much better than Happs and he charges actual shipping.

Other than that you might consider try Craigslist (http://www.craigslist.com) if there is one for your area. Not always flooded with over/unders, but other than that it's ebay or if another seller here has one they are willing to part with.

Oh and for a 2 1/4 in trackball you can use a pool ball. Try googling custom cue balls. You might be able to get something truly custom for the trackball.

For the 2 1/4" trackball replacement try:

I just ordered a sparkley translucent cue ball for a Kensington Expert Mouse I am planning to use in my control panel. They did warn me that shipping for a $6 ball would probably be $10. I called in the order a few days ago and my credit card still hasn't been charged, so they obviously arent in a hurry to ship it out to me. I'll let ya know once it shows up.

Do you need a brand-new door?  I have some used ones, but they all show some battle scars.

There was that guy selling stickers that looked like a coin door on ebay.. And RandyT posted a pic of a sticker he was working on, but I don't remember him ever actually offering them for sale.
