Some of the earliest 4 tracks used strange mechanisms
for punch in/out, like rubber squeeze bulbs with
tubing that caused a pin to press a button. After a
short while, many manufacturers got the idea and
switched over to jacks for momentary contacts. Take a
look at yours; you might be able to adapt something
you've already got or wire up something really
inexpensively.
