I have a friend with a dedicated Track & Field upright cabinet that I recently installed all new buttons and leaf switches for him as the person he bought it from had put all micro switches in it. Obviously that wasn't going to cut it.
I'm wondering what is the best spacing to use between the contacts on the switches to get the optimal performance. I bought all new buttons and leafs from Bob Roberts and I'm using the two spacers that were included to mount the plastic assembly to the metal control panel. With this setup, the longer leaf switch doesn't even rest on the bottom of the button. I've adjusted the smaller leaf to make a very small gap between the two contacts but my friend said he's not getting the performance he should. Perhaps the gap needs to be wider. I would be very interested in seeing some pictures of how good players of Track & Field have their leaf switches adjusted.
My friend has one of the top 10 scores on Twin Galaxies for this game so obvious he is a good player but he says the leaf switches are not working as well as they should.
Thanks.
