Found a bunch of old standup targets with micro switches on them. Any
idea what mfg or games used these?

Thanks for the info!

I agree. I can't imagine them lasting very long. I wasn't sure if
maybe Atari used them because some of the target faces are hexagonal.
Of the latest batch of stuff I got in, there are some other obscure
parts.

I have a couple of boards for the rare Wico games (Af-tor and Big Top)
but I don't see any targets like these on any of the pictures of those
playfields.

I'm stumped!

How can I sell them on eBay for a penny if I don't know what the heck
they are!? :)

Atari games used them exclusively. EVERY
switch on the earliest Atari games is a micro.

I know you said old but Stern used them on recent games like "Austin
Powers". He used Happ control's own plastic cased targets which had
wee-little micro switches in them.
