Maybe you can have a visit of the next web site:

http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/parts/microswitch.html

But they all have a minimum order quantity needed from the factory.

Any other questions, please send me email: lee@coinopexpress.com

Have a nice day.

Regards,
Lee

Jon -

I would like to say that I think your companies prices are great.  However, they're reflected by the fact that you must buy hundreds, if not thousands of a particular product.  To the typical hobbiest (which 99.9% of us are) it's out of their league.  You're not reaching your target audience.

If you really wanted to reach the majority of us, you should have the parts we wanted here, stateside.  You should be able to fill small orders as well as the occasional large order.

The parts we're looking for are pretty simple: a selection of joysticks, buttons (leaf and microswitch), possibly coin doors, arcade monitors, vinyl (for covering control panels and for cabinet sides).

You start opening your business toward us, and the money will follow.

Thanks for everybody's input.  I found a place selling the Coin Switch with Wire Actuator for $2.99.  Doesn't appear to be a minimum order either.  I'm only going to be charged $3.50 shipping for 3 switches.
