From the awful online catalog http://www.wicothesource.com/new2/pics/page87.jpg and the near useless online price list http://www.wicothesource.com/new2/pricing/internet price.htm it looks like I need the following:

22-1040-xx Long button     @ 0.49
22-1052      Button holder assembly   @ 1.35
1160-092-1 Pal Nut         @ 0.10

versus Bob Roberts:
Leaf sw button only long    @ 1.50
Leaf sw & holder      @ 3.00
Leaf sw pal nuts      5 @ 1.00

PS: There is a much improved online Gaming catalog, but it doesn't have the buttons.

I've ordered from Wico 3 times and haven't had any problems (luckily it seems). I started off calling the number listed on the website, the guy I talked to didn't seem like the smartest guy in the world, but after I emailed the first order my local sales rep called (they have a guy that deals with orders in New England alone) and he has been very helpful.  You might want to call and see if there's a local sales guy in your area, then talk to him.

Well... if you ever consider giving money to good causes / companies.

Bob Roberts is the king in great service for parts.

But my question is this...

Is there a difference between the the wico and the happs leaf switches?

There might be a reason that wicos are so cheap.

Wico button holder assemblies do not have a spacer built on to them.  From Bob Robert's pictures, his does.

I don't think Bob Robert's leaf buttons are Happ.  If there is a Happ part number for leaf switches & pushbuttons, I can't find it.

You may be correct, but since I'm mounting them on a wood panel I shouldn't need the extra height.  I fully expect to have to shim or hack them anyway.  The Wico assembly costs less than ordering the leaf switches alone!
