Are all parts for the Maxi Trak Ball created equal?

I want to get a new ball, rollers, and bearings for my Missile Command (upright) trackball. I was thinking I'd just get them from RAM Controls, but he doesn't seem to have the bearings.

Bob Roberts carries the bearings and the rollers, but apparently not the ball.

Happ carries the ball, but I don't know about the rollers or bearings.

Arcade Shop carries the ball, rollers, and bearings, but are the ball and rollers as good as the ones from RAM Controls? I know the ball from RAM Controls is OEM which is ideal, but I know nothing about the one from Arcade Shop. Are the bearings the same as the ones Bob Roberts sells, or is there a quality difference?

I cant compare but awhile back I got the rollers and bearings from Arcadeshop. and My MC maxi rolls like butter. Wouldnt surprise me if the arcade shop parts were from ram controls.
 
I can confirm that Arcade shop carries honest to goodness RAM Controls reproductions on the Major Havoc roller parts and the Maxi trackball balls. So, if you get the MC balls or the MH rollers from them, they're the same thing you'd be getting if you bought them from me. However, Arcadeshop does not carry my reproduction Maxi trackball shafts. I have no idea where theirs originated.

BTW, if you can hold off about a week, I'll dig the bearings out of storage and start offering rebuild kits WITH the bearings.

Thanks for the information. And that sounds great; I can wait a little while.
