Working on a small home-brew mod to one of my games, and independant of the original controlling hardware setup, I need a stacked flipper switch that has two seperate contacts - one for high power (driving flipper coil), and one for low power (input to CPU).
I thought that this kind of setup was used on games in the past, but I can't seem to find any.
Anyone know the leaf-switch parts needed for me to recreate this dual-stack, dual-purpose switches?
Oh, that looks like it'll work. Awesome, thanks. I will also see what Taxi does, and see if it'll work in this cabinet. Space *can be* kind of tight.
Quoted from zacaj:You'd be surprised what you can do. On one of my homebrews I had double flipper buttons, and each had both a high voltage and low voltage switch mounted separately, and it all squeezed in
This is going into an already-produced game, and am not sure how much clearance I have. (Especially on the right side, with the auto-plunger. The thinner I can make it, the safer I know I'll be.)
Like, if these from PBR don't work out, I'll look into mounting two on the same button at angles, or look into that microswitch idea. 
Thanks!
