I want to use the Versa-Micro User-Adjustable Arcade Switches from groovey game gear but want to add a lever for it. What is the easiest way to remove a lever from a cherry switch and add it to one of these? I don't want to break it. ;D

I've reused levers from cherry switches onto new cherry switches before when we didn't have the levered switches in stock. Take a small screwdriver or a fingernail and spread the switch apart at the seam at the top of the switch (near the lever). You can open it all the way, but you shouldn't have to to get the lever out. No idea if its the same process on the Versa switches.
This post has some good pictures of disassembled cherry switches, in case all the parts pop out when you open it. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=72400.0 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=72400.0)

OK thanks a lot. I also see that grooveygamegear will modify it if you ask. I need 4 more of these switches so I will see if he can add the levers for them. Thanks again
