So, a question for my peeps. Who would be willing to pay ~$15/pc for solid sterling silver fire button contacts? I'm thinking of ordering some and modding them up to work nicely in the existing button assembly. Basically, it would replace the screw-in "contact" part of the button assembly. Between cost+shipping and modding time to make them work for us, they would cost about that much. This, I think, would be a luxury add-on. We certainly don't all need one; but some of us might just think it's the pig's chin whiskers*. I think I've got it all figured out as to the way to make this work, and, as always, the solution is amazingly simple and tidy. Not a sure thing yet; but it looks promising (in the spacious yet eerie expanse of my mind).
*that's good . .. . . right?
