Was the original an LED or an incandescant light?

I don't know, but I would doubt it is a LED.

I seem to remember that post, but there was some problem. I think it was the die setup cost. Something like 5 or 10k. You have to sell many buttons to cover that...
GearHead:
The Atari start button was made by Cherry Switch and has an LED. The cones for these and the non-lighted version are the real problem. A few people have investigated repoducing them and the mold and production costs they were quoted were extremely high.
I emailed Kevin at K&S Amusements about his repro cones and haven't gotten any response yet. No word in the newsgroups either.
