filling unused button holes
« on: January 29, 2011, 04:25:23 pm »
I inherited a control panel and cab that has unwired buttons that frankly, I just don't need.

Ideas change and designs are not what you expected.  I assume someone else has had this problem.  What do you do to fill the uneeded holes?  Does someone know of a place to buy plastic caps that will fill the holes?

Something like this:

http://happcontrols.com/pushbuttons/52621200.htm

You do NOT want to buy directly from Happ though.  You'll get a much better price through Divemaster127 who is a member here.  His thread is in B/S/T or you can go to his website:  http://arcadeemulator.net/

He is a distributor for Happ Controls so he can get you their entire product line with better shipping prices.

Damn! Just as soon as I thought I knew every site that sells Happ parts at lower prices I run into this. Their prices on the coin doors are a steal. Damn good. Bookmarked!

Recover Hmm. . .

I hadn't thought about that.  Its not covered now, just painted black.  Kind of a cheap rig that I got from someone else.
