I'm confused.  The other thread says these are 1.00 but here it says 2.50.  Are they different buttons or what did I mess up?

These are different buttons.  Sanwa start buttons are 24mm.   The price seems fair for original sanwa.

The $1 ones in his other thread are for chinese knock-off 33mm buttons with cherry like switches.

How close are the colors in these to the other ones you are selling?

I have some of his other buttons and a red Sanwa start button and his red normal buttons are close in color to the red Sanwa start buttons, but not the same.

hi paul,

not sure whether you received my pm, but i can post on the boards now so i'll repeat what i said in that message (i wasn't able post before because i hadnt met the qouta here).

3 quick questions:

1/ can you send the buttons to london, uk?
2/ do you supply the pins/ connectors that sanwa buttons use?
3/ i saw in another post that you use ebay, do you accept paypal as means of payment?

please let me know.

thanks,
chun

i did respond to your previous message. Or I think i did.  yes I will send to london. what i do is after I mail it I will scan the receipt and you can send me the difference in cost. as far as the pins for the sanwa buttons no I do not. What i end up doing is using old mahjang cps with all the small connectors and use the old ones. I have not yet found a good supplier for them. yes paypal is fine for me. let me know what you need.
thanks

thanks paul,

i've just sent you a pm, please check everything's okay.

i had a hard time tracking down those connectors too, but in the end the closest thing found was bought from a model RC shop. i'll take some photos of them for you later and see what you think...

here they are next to an original:

those are probably the closest your going to get. i have tried to get a supplier from china to make them for me but they turned out worse than the american ones. so i think you have the right ones. you will have to squeeze them tight so they do not fall off. good luck

cheers.
