Title: WTB - Triangle Push Buttons
Post by: CalixPapi on December 03, 2013, 12:43:03 am

I am looking to start a wall mounted jukebox for my girls room and want to have a few triangle buttons for the controls. Found a few online but a bit pricey wanted to see what resources you guys can give me. Thanks.

p.s. a site with square or rectangle buttons as well.

The only place I've been able to find them is on eBay, my friend. None of the usual vendors seem to carry them.

If you're looking for the Happ Low Profile illuminated buttons, Divemaster127 has them here (http://www.arcadeemulator.net/cgi-bin/shop/cp-app.cgi?usr=51F2294966&rnd=3098178&rrc=N&affl=&cip=&act=&aff=&pg=prod&ref=Triangle+Low+Profile&cat=Low+Profile+Illuminated&catstr=HOME:Pushbuttons:Low+Profile+Illuminated).

PROTIP: They come with #161 bulbs which you can swap out for standard LED button LEDs like these (http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/led-buttons/519-red-12-volt-led.html), but not for the super bright SMD (http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/button-leds/89-tropical-spotlight-12vdc-led.html) LEDs which are too large.

Arcadeshop.de has Sanwa OBSF-24TR buttons in 4 colors here (http://www.arcadeshop.de/index.php?cPath=79_91&sort=2a&page=2).

Both sites mentioned above also carry square and rectangle buttons.  :cheers:

NOTE: Happ low profile triangle buttons have a smooth finish on the button bezel, but the Happ low profile rectangular buttons have a textured finish on the bezel.    :dizzy:

The ONLY place I could find them was Ebay from a place in Australia. According to their listing on Ebay, they don't ship to the USA, but if you email them, they'll send you a shipping quote.

Mine have come from Hong Kong. I had no issue getting them shipped to the US. :cheers:

Can you take a few pics of them? Preferably with other normal buttons in the pic, to give an idea of scale.

And maybe a pic showing them lit and unlit?

I'm looking to get a set of 4 for navigation buttons for a virtual pin, with a square "enter" button in the center.

Thanks for the links. Shipping is more than the items  at arcadeshop.de  :-\  exactly the kind I wanted. Worst case Ill use regular buttons with a case over it  :dunno or spend a little extra enough for a touch screen.

I must have just gotten lucky then, because I no longer see them on eBay. Bummer.
