Dry desert air is doing a lot of heavy lifting here and that's the part people skip over. In Tucson you got single digit humidity most of the year, so the oxidation that kills connections on old zinc wiring barely gets started. Take those same levers to a house in Houston or coastal Florida and you'd be back in six months looking at green crud on the contacts. Lever connectors hold tight, sure, but they got way more surface area and little springs inside that can trap moisture in a wet climate. The move is probably levers in the desert, keep your usual method where it rains. Weather decides this stuff more than brand loyalty does.

Wait, they count those cramped little 24 by 24 tables as real game tables? Knocking over the coal market three times in one hour would've had me packing up Brass and leaving.
