"No. I already stock the springs for those who want to change them & I never go near gold contacts... handle too little a current & blacken in a heartbeat, at least here in Louisiana, anyway, and the scope shows up all their miss-fires once blackened."
FWIW

Oh yeah. That looks like garbage to me. What I speak of are the 80s style Wico sticks, which are probably out of production, but are super common both used and NOS. The balltops on the good ones are shiny and they have chrome shafts, and they are not 4-way/8-way switchable.

The good one looks like this. It can be almost any color though, and the shaft lengths vary. That picture shows the leaf model. The microswitch model is mostly identical, except the actuator is square and it has a microswitch plate rather than a leaf plate.

is someone selling those? if so can you give me the link?
