Sticking buttons
(1/1)
docfuz82:
Howdy everyone, I just finished putting the control panel together for my ultimate arcade cabinet and I find that 2 of the buttons stick.  When I press the coin button for Player 2 as well as the one action button they stick, is there any way to fix this short of replacing the whole button?
shardian:
Are the buttons used or new? Either way, take them apart and clean them.

Also, check for rogue wires that may be interfering with the microswitch/plunger.

I am not an expert, but by reading other peoples posts.....

If they are second hand buttons - take apart and put springs in coke to clean and leave plastics in watered down bleach to clean and dis-infect.

If they are new - checkl for wires snagging underneath or if the holes are not drilled at right angles to the cp, you could try releasing the nut slightly.
