A few years back I found it very difficult/impossible to find a non-Mercotac COTS slip ring that was simultaneously (a) rated for FRC current levels and (b) within single-components COTS cost limits. It is possible that you could make your own spring-loaded slip ring, but YMMV with inspectors/rules in a given season.
