As described in the title, I'm looking for a linear space invaders board, as I hear there was a big sale for space invader boards going from Germany. Any sellers, feel free to hit me up.

Have you thought about linearizing a clicky one (seeing as there are so many clicky ones "around")?
I haven't tried it myself yet, but I asked Space Invader expert
TheInverseKey about it and he indicated that it was straightforward.

Interesting. I'll have to find something to do with all the boards I'm due!

I have a clicky one on the way but I don't really fancy mutilating it at all

Arh, hardly constitutes mutilation

More of a useful mod, akin to linearising (black) Alps, floss modding buckling springs etc. Although I'm unsure if removing the follower arm is reversible - would be nice to know!
