Arcade Buttons - How to Install

[THRobinson]

To stay within budget, I opted to buy a kit of the buttons and joysticks. Look good, bit 'clicky' but still should work for me.

Prob is, how do they install?

I managed to get the microswitch off, but I can't get the nut off and don't want to break anything trying the wrong way.

I assume you drill a hole the size of the threaded body, smaller than the top... put it in, slide the sleeve up from the back, then the nut, then put the guts/switch into the button, but they came preassembled and no directions.

Anyone have any experience with these?

With the microswitch out it looks like this

Well... took a bit of playing around, dismantled a bit more than I needed to before discovering it's 1/8th of a turn counterclockwise and pulls right out.

You will be replacing those in short order anyway, they are designed for gambling and kiosk operations where people only press a button once. They feel terrible to actually play a game on where you press a bunch of buttons.
