Is there really a diffrence, especially for games like track and field? I heard microleaf is quicker , but enough to warrant the extra bucks for the switches?

I have both.  The micro-leafs are not cheap, but they sure do cut down on the noise, and they have a softer feel.  I can also imagine they would be better for rapid-fire games like track-and-field.  There are other options, such as true leafs, or http://www.retroblast.com/Hardware/Review-Leaf-Switch-Brackets-for-Micro-Switch-Pushbuttons.php.

I'd give the micro-leafs a thumbs up....if they fit your budget.

I noticed that no one has really elaborated on crimp connectors. You can find large packs of all the sizes at a place called Sayal. I'll link you to their website http://www.sayal.com

See if you can find one in your area, I know I did! Bought a 100 pack of Red and Blue coloured ones.

Hope this helps,

Wooohoooo Received my brand new book today(project arcade)
but My cd is broken, Doh!!!   

Was there anything that usefull on there?
The boook seens to have alot more info that i thought it would contain...

UPDate on project..

Base is done, and both side panels(times 2 since i'm building 2 cabs at once) are ready, just need to go get me some clamps so i can glue it together.  we took pics, but nothing interesteing enough to warrant posting pictures, ill start posting when cabs are upright.

Oh, to save money i used 2X 5/8 MDF and 1X  1/2 MDF per cab(saved a whopping 3 dollars on each cab)

Question:
Next thing i'm ordering are coin doors from happ, http://www.happcontrols.com/coindoors/40005500.htm  the small single player coin door.
First , if i read right, that door will come with 2 coin mechs, right? but US currency.
Will i be able to hook up each slot to a diffrent credit button? (default is 5 & 6)
Basically slot one activates player 1 credit, and slot 2 activating player 2 credits. Doable?

I'm off to go Jam tonight with my bro, so i'll be borrowing his router! Yehaaaaaaa!!!

PS: thx ids for the crimp connector post but i have a place here(one of my suppliers) who has them, i just wanted to know which size, From reading around, seems to be .187 crimp connectors.

FWIW, Starburst Coin is now The Playdium Store (same people, new location and new showroom)

https://www.theplaydiumstore.com/

EDIT: I have been one who has used US mechs without magnets just fine with Canadian quarters. I have, however, heard of folks who have had troubles, so YMMV.

EDIT2: I see that the OP is in Quebec -- I would suggest checking the forums at MAACA to see if there is anybody local who may have stuff like a coin door. http://www.maaca.org
