Need a source for button leaf switches.
Always got these from Bob in quantity, but our stash has been exhausted.

Thank Ken... found these on Arcade Shop:

Dont use these for a low voltage button switch. These are for a pinball high voltage eos and too much resistance for low voltage. It'll work at first and stop once it gets a tiny bit dirty.
Lots of great places. Twisted quarter has been good to me.

To be honest, The supply has dried up. I don't think anyone still has the leaf switch button holders. Someone please post a full link if I'm wrong. (I'd love to be wrong here.![]()
I dunno about that, unless they've changed recently. The new set of them I have here measures 0.18ohm closed, the ones installed in my spaceduel fire buttons that have been on here for about 4 years ( and get a LOT of use ) are measuring 0.35ohm, they are showing signs of wear. I used some on a Williams cab and they're in about the same shape. For comparison the original leafs on my Gravitar are measuring about 1.9ohms.
They do have plated contacts which is pretty nice.

But did they send you moon pie?
(Not a shot at TQ. Just being a wise-ass)
I 3D printed some a couple years ago (I needed a few for different thickness CPs)... attached is a pic of one I didn't use. It came out pretty good (it's not visible anyway), and was a pretty quick print. I guess I never got around to posting the design to Thingiverse though (I'll do it next time I think about it).I don't think anyone still has the leaf switch button holders.

Ive been baffled as to why leaf buttons and sticks aren't still produced (or reproduced). They're preferred over microswitches, yet they are in short supply?
