Title: Centipede trackball replacement
Post by: LockeCole on August 20, 2017, 02:40:31 am
So I'm looking around for new trackballs for my Centipede cocktail because the ones in it are scratched and very yellowed and it occurred to me that 2 1/4 is the same size as a pool ball. I figured this is probably a no brainer and you can use them just fine but I can not find anyone online discussing it(maybe it's such a no brainer that people don't even ask/discuss it).

Seeing as I'm a paranoid idiot I figured I'd ask some people, I mean maybe there's some kind of weight difference that I don't realize and it would actually be a bad idea so I'm throwing it out there... Anyone here replace 2 1/4 trackballs with cue balls or know for sure that they're basically the same thing?
