I need leaf switches...

<< < (2/3) > >>

gatordad:
Bob roberts has the china made replacements ( they don't fit right just a tad sloppy and loose) , nobody makes wico leafs anymore that I know of.



Why not just fix the ones you currently have
If the tab is busted off just solder the wire in front of the black mounting plastic

SirPeale:
I'm hoping that David makes Wico leaf replacements.   And 4" Wico shafts too.

Hey gator...I tried ( even wrote and earlier thread on it)...but i couldnt get the solder to hold...

( the contacts broke when i tried to bend them...i dremeled what i could to get more coverage...but like said before, i couldnt get the solder to stick...the contacts need to be rough i guess to get contact...) but i cant do it with what i have...

The old joystick had leafswitches where the contacts were on the sides and the contacts are very manageable...but the points on the other side are shots...I just wish i knew were I can find some like that...

Does anyone have some they can spare? (if i cant find any online?)

mytymaus007:
Did you try puting flux on the solder it makes it stick better :banghead:
