Proper track ball size for centipede?

[Pipercub]

Is it 2 1/4 3in 4in? Anyone know for sure?

2 1/4 in the original. Crystal Castles and Millipede used a bigger ball in the uprights and the 4 incher was for MC and XO's.

 

arcadeshop.com sells the rebuild kits if you need one.

 

IMHO, if you are going to do a multi machine, go with the smaller ball. The bigger ones do not play as responsively in Centipede (which is the main reason the game is so great).

 

HTH,
