Shoebox board question

[Ben06]

Has anyone modified the original micro switch to a wired micro switch like pictured? Now I've never did this before but I do a bit of soldering. So would this be something I could do or send it out?

Don’t have an answer unfortunately but following out of curiosity

When I ran a Morlock board in my Shocker I installed a micro switch.

Handy pic if I ever get to my Morlock install

I've done it different ways - converted a DS board to LS with a microswitch, and done a frame swap and wired the microswitch up with wires from the frame to the board.

Yes, it can be done.

[Ben06]

That's exactly what I'm trying to do.

[Ben06]

My board has the micro switch but I want to do a wired one because I'm ditching the stock frame.

[Jordan]

It'll work fine.

[Ben06]

Now does it matter what wire goes where or is there a certain one negative & positive?

Not in my experience, but you'll need to use the correct terminals on the microswitch - they're marked. You'll want to use the center post and the one marked NO.

What frame and board are you going to use? I just switched my shoebox to an eblade. Easiest conversion ever as you don't have to drill any new holes.

[Ben06]

Well I'm going to say it'll probably be the first one done with this frame! It'll be up for sale soon. I ended up finding a new project.

is it a ds or ls board?

Sniff sniff sniff

[Ben06]

Ls board

for sale?

[Ben06]

It will be once I get the last few parts for it.
