Title: A Little advice please.....
Post by: scoddie007 on February 25, 2007, 01:33:20 pm
As of right now on my CP i have no exit button as when i ordered them they didn't send me the nut and cherry switch for one of my buttons and that was like a few months ago, Didn't seem to bother me at the time, but im getting tired of pulling the keyboard tray out and hitting esc. everytime i want to exit and its probably to late to MSG the guy I got them from and ask him to send me the parts he didn't send and i don't want to order 1 button and pay 5bucks or shipping and wait 3 weeks for it. My question is would this http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=Switches+Switches&product=2751565 work for the time being , I'm building a full Mame machine in the summer when the weather permits cause i don't have the room in my basement for all the work right now i just have a mini machine i built from scrap at work.

thanks
Scott.

My bad looks like this one would definitely work as it says normally open. Am i right?

If I'm reading the link correctly, this rather unattractive (IMO) button is $5, so wouldn't that be about the same as buying a decent basic arcade button for $1-2 plus shipping?  And I've never had an order take 3 wks...   :dunno

Dude...PM me your address.  I have some used buttons (that work perfectly fine) and I would be happy to send you one.   Tell me if you have a color preference (give me a couple choices) and if I have that color it's yours.

Yah...if you are in Canada,  PM Cheffo,  if the US,  PM me.  One of us will be happy to hook you up.   Please respond here when you have PMed the right person so the other will know not to look out for your PM.

Thanks for all the replies and offers, I'm very impulsive so I ran out and got the button and it works just fine had to bore out a little on the underside of the CP to get the bolt on the button but worked like a charm and it looks pretty good I'm gonna use a row of them for admin buttons , pause and tab and such.

Thanks for the offers FrizzleFried and CheffoJeffo.
Scott.

and ya I'm in Canada. And i have had things take up to 3 weeks to arrive from the states.
