Leaf Switch Composition

But you could try salvaging the contacts off discarded relays, or check out Ponyboy's Leaf Switch Conversion thread. Maybe he can give you a lead on where he gets his contacts.

What the heck do MAME(tm) cabinets have to do with ANYTHING ???
Perhaps by mere coincidence (or perhaps because it was a good idea that Ponyboy has delivered on), the first suggestion (that I am aware of) of the "leaf switch in a microswitch form factor" was made by Clay Cowgill in the 2003 RGVAC thread I referred to above, which was started by Searcher7.

The kinds of questions you ask make people suspect you have no idea what you're talking about. I suggest you buy Saint's book, read it through, and then ask if you still don't understand something.

I would suggest that perhaps you are the one not understanding ... *I* certainly thought he knew what he was asking.

I had used brass I got from a hobby show in my "Quick-Swap" control panel system, but I thought I may try to upgrade by making the contacts out of a better(the best) material.

Solid Gold.

Ideally they should be just a plain conducive metal but with gold plated contact points.
