My cabinet's always completed, and to keep with the theme, I'm looking to do primarily black, blue, and light blue buttons. I've seen light blue and blue buttons before..

Problem is, I can't find them!? Happs sells (according to their website) :
Red, White, Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow, Black, Orange.
Where the heck can I get other colors? :)

Wico USED to sell a light blue button, but they dropped it.
You can get new WICO buttons from www.groovygamegear.com. The other colors are pretty similar to Happ, but RandyT said the Blue is more of a bluish/purple shade.
I know some of the Japanese buttons come in lime green and pink and maybe aqua, but not sure who sells them.
Otherwise, maybe E-bay.

I have one light blue button in my parts box, so someone used to make them. I'd like to find a source for more.

I am assuming you sent a PM to "motorfish" asking him where he got his lightblue and blue buttons.....correct?
slycrel:
I got my buttons from wico a few months ago, and the blue ones were sort of washed out looking. They gave me the most trouble too. The other buttons seemed fine, but the blue ones were slightly too large for the nuts to hold them in place -- Enough to wish I had gotten a button wrench with them. (Wico was out of stock at the time)
Good luck in your serach.
