Yeah, I really like the o-ring idea. I think they're normally made out of round rubber instead of square like a normal rubber band. Plus, the thickness and uniformity would be a much better option than wrapping a lumpy rubber band around a few times. Thanks!!
I also just found out that the spare piece of clear plexi I took out of my marquee holder (replaced with an original Neo Geo marquee) is the exact same dimensions as my cp plexi, so if I ever wanted to try to make a new one, I already have the piece.

I thought that most Japanese cabinets used 30mm buttons which are NOT 1 1/8 Happ sizes. 30mm is about 1 3/16 which is about 1/16 bigger than the happ buttons and happ buttons will pull though if used on a panel like that.

Yeah, but it's a Dynamo, not a candy cab. :)

if the thickness of the control panel will allow it you could wrap electrical tape around the button threads to make them fit snug
