Trackball bearing replacement for Betson Imperial 3"

[oldskoolcade]

I think the time has come to replace the bearings, but I'm not sure where I can get replacements.   Would these be the same bearings that you'd find in a Happs 3" trackball as well?

Any info would be appreciated!

Cheers!

Randy sells an upgrade kit for them:

They're sold out right now, but it looks like you're waiting for spinners to be back in stock anyway.  You can get two birds with one stone that way.

hmmm.  I just noticed there are no bearings with that.  Let me look around a bit.

PM Ponyboy or Divemaster for a qoute on Happ part #95-0570-00.
AFAIK they are the same as the imperial, but I have never put them side by side before.  We'll see if someone can verify if they are the same.  I have a couple Imperials in the shop, but no micrometer.

I'm pretty sure the Happ, Imperial, and Wico bearings are all the same.  Don't know about the rollers.

YUP!! They are identical.... at least they're exactly the same in my Betson and Wico (identical rollers as well). Not so sure about the Happ I think the rollers are a different size.
