Button Mods for Pinball games on MAME cab
drventure:
Sorry, just now seeing the replies on this thread.
Boba is right about the NC and NO.
and you're right about the "not quite a button switch". it's actually a Roller switch. Essentially the same as a button switch, but the metal lever has a roller at the end instead of just plain, I ordered my over the internet. most electronics suppliers will carry them.
Hituro:
Thanks doc! I'll probably look into a roller switch, my friends don't seem to think the idea is cool enough, but I do, and my fiance liked it too. Since we both like pinball, I suppose that's all that matters ;p I do like the optical switch but I think I will end up going with the roller switch. Thanks a bunch :)
BTW DrVenture, do you suggest any other parts besides the plunger parts and the roller switch? And, how difficult is it to mount a plunger, never really installed one of those before.
Hituro:
One more question, what type of mounting plate are you using on your plunger?

I just mounted a plunger and wired the switch as NC - Normally Closed. Pulling back is fine but when I let the plunger hit, it usually 'bounces' which makes it hit the switch twice resulting in a weak launch. It looks okay and launches well for games like Firepower and Gorgar but not so good for Funhouse, Whodunnit, Ripley's and such.
How can I eliminate that bounce? Does a roller switch help with that?
