I'm trying to search the web and turning up nothing, but does ANYONE make special buttons or labels that say free play to replace the coin release script on arcade cabinets? 

I'm wanting to glue a microswitch behind the coin release and use this to simulate the coin command in mame, but dress the buttons up a bit.

Anyone done this, do you have a source for the buttons or labels and pics of yours?

Thanks in advance

I also made a label and replaced it the Groovy Game Gear button.  The default labels are vertical and I needed it to be horizontal.  You can download it here in the photoshop format and simply replace the 25cent text with Free Play.
