Title: Any Options for a Translucent or Frosted handle on a Omni Prodigy?
Post by: Wienerdog on March 08, 2006, 03:36:46 pm

I am committed to using a Prodigy from GroovyGameGear (committed sounds so negative, it's not).  My CP already has a slot for the lever to switch from 4 way to 8 way so that can't be changed.

Ideally, I'm looking for an illuminated ball handle with a frosted or clear translucent ball.  If I can't illuminated it, then a frosted or clear ball would be best, or a blue translucent ball would be acceptable (although I have trouble settling for acceptable). 

Randy, I can't keep up with you (that also sounds negative but it's not) so it'd be great if you already have a replacement handle.  Othewise, are there other products out there that I could modify to get what I'm looking for?

No but you might be able to modify the ones they do make.

Maybe Randy and Christian could combine forces and come up with something.  :D

It is a little known fact that for quite some time, the Prodigy Retro edition shafts have had a hole down the middle of the them.

The "Retro" style used to be available as an option under the Versa-Ball item.  I'll put it back if you are interested in such endeavors.

Holy smokes, that IS a little known fact...  I have a non-retro in the control panel right now with a top mount, but I could switch that out with my retro that I have waiting for another project.  Based on what I see on your site, am I looking for Versa Ball replacement shaft with Translucent Sapphire Blue Ball with a "Retro" style?  Do you have a Clear or Frosted ball also? 

Thanks for the help.
