Kaiser:
Thanks for all the replies.  I thought I read somewhere that it had a higher lip on it or something.  

Thanks for the clarification!

there are two styles high lip and regular. but they both work the same its just on of them the ball will be protruding farther through the control panel thank the other.

huh??  ???  This does not compute, heh.  Non golden tee trackballs are not restricted in any way, nor are any trackballs at all, at least not to my knowledge.

Anyway, dirt is right. Ebay auctions proclaiming "Goldend tee trackballs" are just to get your attention.  You could get a Happ or Betson 3" trackball and be fine.  You could also go high-lip or normal.  There is no real discernable difference.  The high lip will obviously sit a bit higher on the control panel and the betson and happ TBs physically look a bit different, but any will work.  Don't worry about it.

u_rebelscum:
A new Golden Tee (aka high lip, aka high rim) TB does have a higher lip so it can be mounted on thicker CPs (3/16" vs 1/16").  The same amount of ball is above the top of the lip for both types, though.  Here's an old drawing I did showing a happs golden tee (middle "H lip") and a happs normal (right) being mounted under 1/8" lexan cover and a happs mounting plate (~1/16").

rchadd:
suggest you get the flush mounting kit (happ code 55-1101-00) as well - should be easy to mount with one of them.

the Happ 3" GT highlip TB comes with a plastic spacer which when used allows the TB to be mounted without the Lip protruding above the mounting plate.
