| Stop Buttons From Spinning? |
| (1/1) |
| Oldskool:
I'm just about to start installing my leaf switch translucent buttons, and will be using them for start buttons also. If I stick on "vinyl men" (player 1 and 2 start), I'd like to stop the buttons from rotating in their holders to keep the men aligned. Any ideas? |

you said leaf switches right? If so I assume from what leaf switches I've seen, that the leaf part hangs out a bit from the switch. If you are doing this on a wood panel, I would just run a screw on the underside of the wood that doesn't go all the way through on both sides of the leafs, keeping it from rotating. Edit: I just looked at a leaf switch I had and noticed it doesn't work like that and the center button would still rotate. Sorry. You might however, be able to use a little dab of epoxy or something similar to glue a little bump, that the e-clip will catch on and then not turn. This is all based on the leaf switch I have, maybe if you post a pic I can be of more help. |

Here's a pic.... |

ok, here is crude pic of the bottom of the switch where the e-clip holds the center portion inside the threaded portion. I would carefully drill a small hole shown and the put a small pin or something wedged in the hole but sticking up so the e-clip will hit it if the center piece starts to rotate. Just an idea off the top of my head, there may be a better way, I tend to over engineer things. |

maybe just drill a little hole in the leaf switch and button and install a small screw... kinda like this: |
