WTB: radial pin butt

Looking for a used radial butt-only that somewhat fits these specifications.

must:
-radial
-when rolling the butt, pin must roll not wobble, and must be no lift at the joint and end of butt. some taper roll is fine as long as the front and bottom of the butt stay down. should roll straight with a straight shaft too.
-cheaper = better

would be nice:
-brass / stainless steel pin
-forward balance of ~19"+ ~3.5oz OB-2. Removing the weight bolt is fine to achieve this as long as the butt cap doesn't require it to stay in, let me know the weight of the butt with and without
-small butt diameter, around 1.200"

do not want a shaft with it. would get it custom made but i really just want to play with the OB-2 asap. non-custom butts are fine like fury, predator, if they have a radial joint and the balance/adjustable weight.

d'oh it didn't change the thread title in the forum view.

no recommended cue builders for this?

I would think that almost any cue builder could handle this. Probably what you want is someone who is a) not so well known that price would be sky high, b) someone not so busy that he has a long wait time, and c) someone known for quality and attention to detail. I'll give you three recommendations based on what I've heard from others: Leon Sly, Bob Dzuricky, and Jon Spitz. I'm sure other recommendations will pop up as well. Good luck with your quest--it sounds like fun.

Add Rick Phillippi to that list of good guys to get in touch with. I just got a sneaky from Rick...and it's one hell of a nice player. Rick's a great guy to deal with, too. Call him up; you won't be sorry!

I have had a few Spitz cues, including my snooker cue, I know Jon well and he makes a great cue, he is excellent at fitting specs to a cue that you want. At one time I owned the first cue he made...damn shame i got rid of it.
you can find him on here as "wood2wood".
 
If he hasn't already contacted you send a PM to poolfool1957. He builds cues called "The Sneakiest Pete" They are Lam shafts no collars. He builds them with G10 pins so with the weight of the light lam shafts they may be too far back on the balance then you wish. But I am sure he could build a special one with a brass or Stainless pin.

Tell him tjlmbklr sent you!
