Direct Mounting Leaf Switches

Pages: << < (2/2)

D_Harris:

My main issue is getting the leaf switches at the correct distance from the button plunger.

Bob Roberts recommends cutting down the holder when short buttons are what is available. http://www.therealbobroberts.net/leafsw.html

But after cannibalizing Track & field, Elevator Action, Mario Bros., and Pac-man control panels those "short buttons" aren't short enough for direct mounting the leaf switches.

So I found some buttons in a mystery harness and cut down some holders.

Now I'm entertaining the idea of gluing 1/4 pieces of wood to the underside of some control panels I'm making to get the leaf switches at the correct height.

Thanks.

Darren-

I have a bunch of the old black thin (read: low) switch holders! Dont cut down the white ones, I will trade you some of mine for some of yours if you like...





D_Harris:

I'm actually trying to get away from using holders for all buttons.

What exactly are you looking for?

New?
Used?
Just the holders?
How many?
