I am restoring a Armor Attack and will be needing white leaf style buttons (the longer ones) to replace the existing ones. Who around sells these???
 
Look for his kits of buttons, bought a Stargate button set just to get the white ones that are in it. Perfect for my Galaxian panel.
 
I'm putting together an order from Bob Roberts which includes some long white leaf buttons. I just emailed him ahead to make sure they were in stock and he responded with this:

I'm afraid those are gone forever. I have a want list out with everyone in the industry that I know of & I check in all the time, but no new stashes have turned up over the past 8 years. I even tried to have them repro'd with no luck at all.

:eek: I need four to finish my Scramble restore. Hopefully someone can come up with a source for these.
 
I know injection molds and the molding processes are expensive, but how are these NLA?!?! Someone has to be able to reproduce them.

I'd guess that originally most of these were manufactured by Wico?
 
Does p1001 have any more?

He says the he "ran" them. I assume that means he had them reproduced.

I ran 1000 of these and they sold pretty quickly. I kept a stash for myself and let the post die. I'm going to dig them out and see how many I have left. I'm sure I'll be able to sell a few more and will take them in the order received.

If there's enough interest I'd entertain another run. Might ask for some commitments before I go that far. Feel free to PM or post if you have any interest.

Thanks, Hans O

I figured you'd have an answer on the correct buttons by now. If you're totally in a jam, Paradise Arcade sells leaf switches that can be installed on a long microswitch style button.

I've used these and they work fine.

Good find. Their cheapest shipping option to Canada for 4 buttons is $21.25 though. :banghead: Would anyone who is ordering from this place be willing to order 4 extra white 1 3/8" buttons and ship them to me via economy (USPS First-Class Int'l)?

boy, Canada post seems to have really jacked their prices a lot lately :(

It's getting to be an expensive hobby hey :(

AU Freight just jumped up too, sadly
