Quick disconnects for atari volcano/cone buttons?

(1/2) > >>

Justin Z:
These are really tiny connectors.  Anyone out there who has this style button have a suggestion for finding the proper sized quick disconnects (if they exist) or any other alternative to soldering?

Thanks,

Justin

ChadTower:

Solder them.  If you're building custom stuff, or restoring a game of that age, you should know how to solder leaf contacts.  It's not hard.

Justin Z:
No, it's not.

That said, since nothing else in the entire CP is permanent, I'd rather have the ability to change these if I feel like it as well.

If that's not possible, that's fine, but I'd prefer the option one way or the other.

Lindner24:
I've never hooked up volcano buttons...

Although, I've had good luck using regular sized quick connects on small pins.

You might have to adjust them with a pliers a little for a good friction fit.

In other words, just use half of a quick connect pinched with a pliers.

Justin Z:
That sounds like it's worth giving a shot, thanks.
