I am building a series of handbuilt toys that need to be "ON" when
positioned down and "OFF" when 180-degrees reversed or up. The devices
are completely self-contained so using a positioning sensor is not an
option. I can build a functional switch with a ball bearing housed in a
closed tube with 2 contacts on 1 end and nothing on the other or use a
mercury switch. As it is a toy, I don't want to do that. So, what is
the substitute for a mercury switch?

I would google for (replace mercury switch) but what do I know?


Try "mercury switch or" in Google. There, you know a bit more now. >:)
