Hi, I recently purchased a pair of reproduction Atari cone buttons for my scratch build Centipede cabinet (see attachment).
If I remove the locking nut but keep the washer the tall cone screws in at the correct height for the correct button exposure.
Due to the shape of the switch I am aware of 2 options to mount in a 3/4" piece of mdf.
1) cut out most the mdf to accomodate the switch leaving a very thin layer of mdf
2) I read a suggestion somewhere to flush mount a metal plate. After routing, how would I stick the metal to the mdf and how would I fill it to blend it all in so that it would be invisible when the laminated vinyl overlay is stuck on top.
or does somebody have a better suggestion please?
Thank you.
