Finally have a donor I am ok with sacrificing. Must admit that I already have all the games I want from this board type but would be cool to try out Eight Forces and just have everything on one board.
Respectfully anxious to see how this progresses.
Also here for the test switches - available in 3 colors: https://www.monotaro.com/p/3890/5806/
OP is asking about the power switch which can probably be carefully disassembled and repaired even if it means robbing a internal part from a replacement if you want to preserve originality.
+1 for @mybff. Although we have never met and he is on the opposite side of a trade war, my last dealing with him was as good as the first. Bought 3 small items and he sent them all quickly and well packaged. Nice guy to deal with.
No one is playing this game competitively anyway. It's just for kicks.
Since HDemon stated they don't even have the time to really finish this anyway, what makes you think they are going to go to the trouble to tackle your feature request as well? Seems low priority considering.
