I thought it may have explained why you can’t get a magnetic measle
I’ve never seen a magnetic ball of quality
No one sells a magnetic measle ball.
Aramith has some of the good resin in a few different magnetic balls. The Red Triangle ball is a delight.
Diamond bar boxes automatically return Aramith Red Circle cueballs without magnets

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
This might be a stupid thought here, but it would be easy to remove a spring or cut a piece of wood to keep the ball tray down if you want to play with a real measles cue ball. It's not a difficult fix, doesn't damage the table and can be reversed at any time. The only downside is that the CB goes into the regular ball area instead of at the break end. Unless he's charging quarters this is a good solution, my buddy's table is set up that way.
Take off the ball view door - use any cue ball you want including a regular measles ball.
Aramith does make a magnetic cueball just not with the dots https://www.ozonebilliards.com/product/aramith-magnetic-tournament-cue-ball
You would not want one anyway for use with a bar table set of balls, due to the size/weight/construction difference it would play weird. For some reason a bunch of people at a local place by me started to buy and bring the Aramith measle ball to use, but they keep the rest of the set the same old set the pool hall has LOL. Sure the cueball is nicer, but now the weight and size is off and the thing plays funny, but all they know is "hey I got a cool looking good cuball the cool kids use".
Just open the table and use any set of balls with it, as above suggestions since it's a home table. Heck even for a bar place, ask them to open the side for league play.
Ever played with one of these PT? Made with Aramith's best resin.

Tournament Purple Logo Aramith Magnetic Cue Ball
This cue ball is made for coin op tables that return the ball at the break end. It does not have the magnet in the middle of the ball however.

This is the same ball without the valley branding. Magnetic with the duramith resin. It's what I use and I like it better than the measles ball I have.
I bought it so that, once tournaments start again around here, I am used to retrieving the cueball from the right ball return. I wasn't looking for a better ball, but it is.
A perfect solution, except for one thing....
For me, there isnt a 9 foot table within 50 miles of me. So it's a bar box, or nothing. Believe me .... I'd be playing on a 9 footer if I had a choice.
Aramith makes two magnetic tournament balls.... a green logo, and a purple logo. I agree with Mick.... The purple is better quality.

I’ll have to check it out...admittedly, I have little experience with bar tables....when I was an action guy, I would only playEver played with one of these PT? Made with Aramith's best resin.

with the oversized cue ball...it’s different but predictable. I spin a lot, any any ball with a weight in it was unpredictable.
....sometimes it would push off the tip, sometimes it would massé, depending which side the weight was on.
I saw a good bar player miss a spot type shot all together with outside english.
I knewva guy who owned several Valleys, he would buy cue balls in boxes of 16...he would test them by rolling off a small ramp....sometimes he would send the whole box back.
I‘ve seen those ’top’ cue balls....but it was 15 years ago...they weren’t so good...maybe they are now.
Modern Aramith magnetic balls play indistinguishable from their non-magnetic counterparts.
