Title: WTB: Microswitches
Post by: More Cowbell on June 05, 2010, 08:31:17 pm

I could use between 50 and 100 microswitches but everywhere I look they cost almost as much as a button plus the switch. Can anyone point me to someone selling for reasonable prices?

I don't know how cheap you need them but armi0024/www.paradisearcadeshop.com sells them at bulk prices. Check the bottom of one of his sales listings [here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=103145.0)].

I second armi0024.  Bought 50 of the 20gm micros (which feel pretty sweet by the way) and he shipped them all in small flat rate box so shipping was great. They are Zippy brand, not cherrys, but i don't have any problem with the 20gm and they don't make any twangy sounds.  The 125gm ones on the otherhand do, but they take a good deal of force so maybe any micro would twang at 125gm.
