Does anyone have a list of which Atari games used the 2.25" and 3" trackball units and the color of the balls? If so, it would make my life just that much easier than having to build the list myself. :)

Thanks

Dave

P.S. Same goes for tall black cones, short black cones and short silver cones... anyone have a prepared list handy?

As many freebies as you have given away, it would be a nice gesture for some of those folks to start compiling the list in this thread. :)
 
Ok, maybe not a list....

How about people just start posting which ATARI games that they personally KNOW use:

1. 2-1/4" trackball

2. 3" trackball

3. Tall Black Button Cone

4. Short Black Button Cone

5. Short Silver Button Cone.

From the posts, I should be able to gather what I need. I just don't want to sort through 200+ manuals. LOL

Thanks

Dave
 
Short and tall black cones were pretty much interchangable on later games... looks like they went to the tall cones so tehy wouldn't need the nut on the shaft of the button anymore...

I'm not sure when exactly they moved from anodized metal cones to black plastic (short) cones, but I think it was missile command era.
 
Here is my contribution to the list. I don't have a ton of experience with Atari's though.

1. Centipede - off white/creme
2. Rampart - blue, red, orange
3. I don't know
4. Centipede, I have one Video Pinball cp with black as well
5. Video Pinball, Baby Pacman (I know it is not Atari)
 
This is perfect. This is what I'm looking for. Anyone else care to offer up some of their experience in this format?

Remember:

1. 2-1/4" trackball
2. 3" trackball
3. Tall Black Button Cone
4. Short Black Button Cone
5. Short Silver Button Cone.

Thanks

Dave
