Power Switch

[dragos]

Is Doubledown still doing power switch mods? Anyone know where he gets the swiches for DIY?

 

I really don't want some ugly power button mod, his look nice and clean.

 

Any info appreciated...

I didn't know I did a power button mod.

 

I do however rebuild power switches so they work like new, and offer ColecoVision mods. Check out the link in my signature for a Youtube video of my ColecoVision mods.

 

If you want to go the DIY route, desolder the switch from the board. Take it a part and and throughly clean ( I recommend DeoxIT ). I highly recommend not attempting unless you have good repair and soldering skills. Good luck.

My soldering skills are passable. I put one of these together: http://c64.digitalscream.com/MicroKIM/

 

What I want is a button like Doubledown uses. Any one have any ideas?

Doubledown had those plastic push buttons made as a custom order, and as far as I know, he never told anyone here who was his supplier. He remained deliberately tight-lipped whenever someone asked him about it.

I'm not sure that they were made as a custom order, but I do recall doubledown stating that they were industrial switches that were very expensive. I've got ~$40 in my head but could be mistaken.
