Title: Does anyone have pictures of a green trackball in a control panel
Post by: stephenp1983 on April 26, 2007, 09:48:29 pm

Just wanting to get an idea of what it looks like if someone could post a picture.

I have a translucent green one on my CP.

Go to my site and click on Construction - several more photos down near the bottom.

My cab INVADER (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=53120.0) has a green trackball I got from Bob Roberts...  It's not actually a shade of green that I have anywhere else on my cab, but I couldn't find one in the shades I wanted  :)

Here's a pic..  It doesn't look nearly as yellow in person...

Thanks for the pictures.  Does that happen to be a happs trackball.  I was hoping it would look a little darker.  Maybe its just the picture.

Why not get an Electric Ice trackball from Randy? You should be able to get the color green you are looking for that way...

Well I am trying to go very simple.  This is going to be a present for my father, whose main arcade experience was with frogger etc on the atari 2600.  One I'm afraid it might be flashy for him, and two there is not going to be an arcade cabinet, this will b e controller only that sits on the coffee table and plugs into a pc next to the 65 inch tv.
