odd request - Nuclear launch Button
Haterot:
I am in search of a part for an upcoming project. Think old school movie, down in a nuclear Silo, guy puts a key into a lock; turns it; glass slides up, then he jams a finger on the launch button. I am trying to find something akin to the mechanism. The launch buttons are easy to find, I am looking for the whole kit and kaboodle. Worse case I could create it but I'm on a time crunch for other stuff at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ;D

While it's a USB hub too, this seems to have everything you need:

the tricky part will be finding one. Doesn't look like the Japanese store has them anymore.
You might have better luck cobbling your own together. Doesn't look to be too tough.

That looks like a lot of fun. But I may have to cobble it together. I was wanting to have the key make the glass cover slide away. Wire some LEDs around the plunger button and then wire the plunger button to power on/off the machine. I think the hardest part would be wiring a motor and glass plate.
