Anyone ever seen these ?
Look interesting !

OK, I guess you all think: So what ?
Personaly, I don't care much for the microswitch version because.....they're microswitches of course.....
But that leaf holder looks like it will fit directly under a metal CP without any need for spacers like this:

etc. Very nice because the original "thick" leaf button holders are almost extinct:

These were used in games like Centipede etc.
More info about all that here:

I will order some of both the MS and leaf versions to play around with them...

Oh...someone is still making these? That is interesting...who?
-
No idea. I found them here in Europe. I'm checking things now on availability, price etc.
(I'm talking about the black button holders like pictured in the first post, just to be clear :)

OK, the source I found them has a very limited supply left of them. It's a company getting out of the arcade business.
There are 39 black and 1 yellow button. This is the leaf switches. I will also ask about the MS version.
Anyone else interested in these ? Not planning on making money on them, just covering costs and helping out...
I got a price on them, but he's now figuring out what shipping costs will be, gotta add that of course.
