Anyone know where I can find pink HAPP pushbuttons?
« on: March 17, 2009, 08:57:05 pm »
It's for an old bartop I'm re-decorating for my daughter.

I can find Sanwa buttons, but it looks like they're snap-in for metal control panels only.

Does a pink button similar to the HAPP version even exist?

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Maybe just paint your own?

Id rather paint a Happ Comp button than buy a already pint concave one.

Well you have to do it right, you cant just get some model paint and dab it on there lol.

With the right paint I think it would be just as durable as the original.  Maybe an acrylic clear coat on top to finish it.

The dreamarcades buttons are the buttons I used.  They work great.  Painting them does not seem like a good idea to me.
