Title: Happ Trackball
Post by: ojelela on January 11, 2006, 07:39:00 pm

Hi Guy's

I bought 3in blue transparent trackball from Starburst Coin Machines, in person for 100$CAN. Box was open and then re-taped when I got it. Didn't noticed till I used blue LED to lite it up there was nasty scratch from razor blade across it. Gave them a call and and they apologized and told me to send it back for replacment.....cool. Now second one came back with even more scratches, not as deep but more than few. Plus there is also 3 marks I guess from shaft 1/4 in long and 1/16 wide.

Most all of your trans balls are going to have marks on these this happens from the bearing in shipping plus once you play it you will have marks, the guy is right i would just live with it

I've had three translucents and none have had marks.  One had a big scratch and the company replaced it, but other than that, no issues.

My translucent red Happ ball is perfect. I'd imagine unless someone with rings plays it, it'll stay that way.

My first ball was red and it had scratches.  Very noticable lit up or dark.  I returned it and got a blue ball .. the blue looks better than the red IMHO especially when not lit.  The blue had a few minor scuffs but not a scratch like the red one.

Ok, thanks, I guess I'll live with it. Just don't want to go with hassle of sending it back again. I wish there is some way of polishing it out a bit............ ???
