Title: Great looking switches
Post by: BobA on October 25, 2010, 05:41:39 pm: Found some great looking and durable switches for things like power on etc. Have to find a source in Canada but here is the manufacturer's page.

Post by: surface tension on October 27, 2010, 05:13:37 am: I used to use the illuminated versions for credits and non-illuminated for exit and menu on the early surface tension systems. They looked fantastic, but too expensive for the system. They totalled £50! So even though they really looked the part, it wasn't long before I came to my senses.

Yes that is alot for machines you are building. Not bad for a one time build if you really like the look but too much when you have to buy alot of them.
