Hello folks,

I would like to purchase a large number of leaf buttons and I was wondering if there are differences in quality (material used) and/or design (shape of the button, travel, spring) between the various suppliers on the market. I am referring exclusively to the "Wico style" leaf buttons (the ones in Williams / Bally, etc. cabinets).

I ask this because from the photos on the most popular suppliers' websites and the (scarce) accompanying descriptions they all seem exactly the same to me. Yet prices differ, sometimes even substantially, between one store and another.


Do any of you have opinions on this, or prefer a particular store for a reason among those I've listed?

Thank you for any feedback!

Please note: I'm not talking about original or NOS buttons - which I'm not interested in - but only reproductions
