Strange button(holders) leaf & microswitch...

[Level42]

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.
