Butter smooth!!! Built like a tank with American parts and will make your game play like brand new!
This is a 100% newly manufactured reproduction trackball unit built for serious restoration, collector, and reproduction applications. Specifically for those who want Missile Command restored properly, not patched together with worn 40-year-old parts. Features machined ALUMINUM components, laser-cut acrylic and aluminum parts, precision-ground and polished ball, and carefully manufactured components throughout.
This unit was engineered as an extremely close 1:1 recreation of the original Atari assembly, preserving the original appearance, fit, feel, and function. It is nearly indistinguishable from OEM, with the most visible difference being that it is obviously brand new. Known weak points were discreetly improved, including machined aluminum encoder hubs replacing the original brittle molded plastic counterparts.
Built to restore the machine properly, not merely occupy the hole in the control panel.
NOTE: This 4.5\" trackball unit is used on games such as:
Missile Command (upright and cockpit versions)
Atari Football (2-player and 4-player versions)
Atari Baseball
Atari Soccer
Atari BasketballINSTALLATION NOTE
This is a true plug-and-play component requiring no modification when used in a compatible application. It installs using the original mounting and connection points and is intended to integrate cleanly into both original equipment and reproduction builds. Verifying compatibility prior to installation is recommended.This will play butter smooth in your game : )
