And actually, that one does use leaf switches, but it is MUCH larger than standard Wicos.

This is the one I've been looking for...

I'm looking for one of the oddball Wico,s. The one with the odd bottom that uses micro switches instead of leaf switches. It was called the deluxe. Hit me up if you have one for sale, working or not.

I don't know how big you want your label, but in best electronics revision 10 catalog, on page 155, they are selling prototype metal labels from the Atari 2700 run that never happened. They are only a buck for two, and they have self adhesive backing on them. Best does have a minimum order, but it's hard to look in that thing and NOT spend 20 bucks. I would like a dozen of everything.... Anyhow, since you're doing a one off cabinet, why not use a one off label?

Although, as you stated quite brilliantly, a clever individual could make use of a separate button and reuse one of the inputs already available. But, you know, a programmer type could maybe make it work without adding anymore external wiring/switches. There are games that you can still control with the controller after a game ends (think space invaders), but it's not like it has reason to HAVE to be that way. Hmmm.... something that could determine an end of game event and control a switch (I may say switch, whether or not the switch is a mechanical type or a transistor, but you know what I mean), that would switch the controller inputs to a different function.... Gonna have to think on that one...

That's what the feller that did the mod more or less posted he did. My curiousity is that if it was done wirelessly, it could be done with controls and a module that most folk have and are never gonna use anyhow. A db-9 connector in the back of the unit where it could be unplugged and put out of site if you wanted to, and a few old bally slot machine relays or for you clever circuit board types, a few transistors for the wireless to kick. I just thought it would be kind of neat to be able to keep the controllers and extensions stock...

I'm looking for someones collection of non-working but rebuildable 2600 controllers. I prefer wico command control's, tac-2 's , slik stik s, need a few cx40 's, and some paddles. I don't need a hundred controllers, just enough to have a nice well rounded system. Looking for controllers that have electrical/switch problems. I'm rebuilding from a house fire, and am more or less wanting a nice distraction from the Texas heat. I can pay via paypal or credit card. Here's your chance to clean out that junk drawer that you couldn't quite let go to the trash, make a few bucks, and have more room for the important things in life.....game collections!!! Also looking for non-working heavy 6er's.

I have been curious for a while now. There was a feller that added another db-9 port to his 2600 that allowed a dedicated controller to reset and select a game. If a guy had a few oem parts and some relays laying around, what would stop him from using the cx 42 remote controllers for the same purpose? Since the reset and start switches are momentary, I suppose that you would only have to use two directions on the controller, which would leave open spots to control difficulty, and maybe a latching relay to take the place of the toggle switch that the pause kits use.
