Anyone put a button on the front for pinball plunger?

Hurray Banana:

I've got a plunger and an extra player 1 start button sat side by side on the front of my CP.

It works pretty well but it would be cool to have a real plunger.

Has anyone tried creating a real tilt switch mechanism for implementing tilt, using something like a metal plumb weight hanging through a ring?

Your joystick solution sounds intriguing. The way you described it sounds like the ball launches when the stick returns to normal. How would that be wired?

Hehe, your joyticks are already wired (unless your planning not to have any joystcik at all). Just assign MAME to use that joystick value.

Thenasty:

when this discussion was being in the open years ago (God was it been that long), they were talking about applying this gadget. I bought one and never got around to trying it out.

Hurray Banana:

I was actually thinking of something like this, a mechanical switch. I wonder if you'd need a circuit to time contact duration?

If this is horse crap say so.
