Direct Mounting Leaf Switches
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?
