Orange and green translucent pushbuttons... different sizes.
« on: March 11, 2004, 06:33:08 am »
I  just got my order from centsibleamusements.com and notice that the orange and green translucent buttons I ordered are different sizes.  It's a small difference, but a noticable one none the less.  

The green ones are, I'd have to say, about 2 or 3 millimeters maybe more smaller than the orange ones.  The orange ones also have c-clips, which the green ones do not, which leads me to believe that they are made by two different companies.

I don't mean to discourage anyone from buying from centsibleamusements, I'm just stating this for anyone who is interested in purchasing similar items to know that you should probably ask first...

I have already e-mailed them and am now waiting for a response, lets hope this all gets worked out.  But in case it doesn't, and if you know a place that has either the green translucents with the c-clip or the orange ones without it please post it.
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

I don't have an answer to that question, but I did notice one thing.

If you are ordering translucent microswitch buttons for them, and need the switches (that don't come with them), then you would be wise to instead order entire microswitch button assemblies with switch (only 30 cents more), and have a bunch of spare buttons.

I might make my next control order be from them. Since I could use a new pinball, some pinball rubbers, bulbs, two round red targets, and maybe some other stuff as well.
Note, their leaf joys are not true wicos, but are knock offs, and are not quite as good as the original.

Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

The ones I got were leaf switch buttons.

In case anyone is confused as to the size difference I'm reffering to, as the people at centsibleamusements were, here's a pic I took illustrating the difference.
