Sure, sounds like a good plan to me. How about in the new year? I might be looking to get one or two of those Suzo's too. Where in Ottawa are you? I'm in Kanata...

Cool.
I'm right downtown. I'll pm you early in the new year then.

I might have some of them lying around, I'll give a try with the HAPP microswitches.

I tend to agree with RandyT on a lot of things, and I respect his opinion, but I disagree about microswitches vs. leaf.

My classic games have leaf switches, and I've never had an issue with any of them not working.  I have micros on my MAME, and I am planning to switch them to leaf because of the feel.

The feel of a micro vs. leaf is HUGE.  My T&F cocktail has leafs and the buttons have a pretty long travel (as do some of my other classics), and help bounce your finger back.  Pushing a micro button is not HARDER, but it doesn't give the same feedback and has a very short travel.  Pushing a micro feels more like pushing on a hard surface that isn't a switch at all (no feedback and very little bounce).

I have tried playing T&F on the micros and it plays horribly that way!

Imagine those who like those Sanwa buttons. I feel those are even more like just pushing on a hard surface. I'm not sure those buttons have any springs at all.
