Hey all, we got 2 Centipedes this past weekend. Were the trackpalls on these games orriginally this yucky piss yellow color or were they white and over time through playing and hand sweat and other things that get on em, they change color? I was thinking about bleaching back to white if they were actually white to begin with.

white...you my friend have the RARE "smoke filled room" versions of the trackball... ;D

smoked ball tastes better.

If that doesn't work, I have a brand new one I could give you for the cost of shipping. Its not the white as driven snow variety, but it is white. Probably matches the original centipede color.

I appreciate that, but it is not necessary. After I replace the rollers these will work just fine. I was just currious as to coloring of the orriginals.

They never were cue-ball white. "Cream colored" I believe. They do get yellower as time passes though. You won't find a centipede cab with an original ball that is snow white.

I doubt that bleaching those would be a good idea.
You might try some Novus Polish[url] or something simular. (http://www.noscratch.com/novus/index.shtml)
