Wow...Adam is an individual I have been bending over backwards for in order to help him with getting the right parts for his "commercial" arcade cabinet venture, including making a custom version of the TT2 spinner for him, and providing no-cost guidance as to how to go about getting the controls he needed , so he wouldn't have any problems with installation or on location. In my sent folder, I have
38 responses to his queries. To see a post like this one in a public forum, over an issue that very likely has everything to do with the installation of the product, given that they are meticulously tested before shipping, and that there have been
no other complaints from others who are using the very same buttons, is very distressing. Unfortunately, the old adage about no good deed going unpunished really does seem to hold true with some.
In any case, pushbuttons, no matter what the type or manufacturer, need room in the mounting holes to expand when temperatures inside the housing increase. This is especially important in upright cabinets where temperatures can change. Tight holes, or very tight nuts, can constrict the body of the button, and cause binding when this temperature increase occurs. In the less likely case that the legs of the plunger somehow became splayed enough to create resistance on the inner wall of the body, this can be permanently rectified (again, with any button) by simply giving the legs a good squeeze at the top near the plunger.
It's things like this that make me wonder why I chose this line of work...but I'll get over it
