Quick disconnects for atari volcano/cone buttons?

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Justin Z:

These are really tiny connectors.  Anyone out there who has this style button have a suggestion for finding the proper sized quick disconnects (if they exist) or any other alternative to soldering?

Thanks,

Justin

Solder them.  If you're building custom stuff, or restoring a game of that age, you should know how to solder leaf contacts.  It's not hard.

Justin Z:

No, it's not.

That said, since nothing else in the entire CP is permanent, I'd rather have the ability to change these if I feel like it as well.

If that's not possible, that's fine, but I'd prefer the option one way or the other.

I've never hooked up volcano buttons...

Although, I've had good luck using regular sized quick connects on small pins.

You might have to adjust them with a pliers a little for a good friction fit.

In other words, just use half of a quick connect pinched with a pliers.



Justin Z:

That sounds like it's worth giving a shot, thanks.
