I've checked Wico, Happ, and Bob Roberts.
Any other suggestions, or did I miss them on one of the above mentioned sites.
-
Bob roberts has them - just leaf style. I don't believe anyone has found an economical approach to getting Translucent Microswitch buttons.
-
The economical way is buying the nintendo holders on ebay.
-
Ahhhh.
After some Googling, I did find some blue translucent buttons available from Marco Specialties.

Has anyone out there dealt with this guy....?

I looked at that page and all I saw were translucent bartop/gamble style buttons and again, leaf buttons (like Bob Roberts carries).

Heres where I got mine.

Damn I don't see them on their site anymore. :( However,I would e-mail them or call them as I bet they still have some left.

What the hell.. "Video Connection" doesn't carry them anymore either ! >:( Thank god I got em when I did. Atleast Ebay still has new ones quite frequently. Do you know whats even harder to find ? The long style (for mounting in wood control panels) translucent leaf buttons in the color red. I've seen every other color offered in both long and short lenths except for red ones. ??? What do the manufacturers have against the long style translucent buttons in the color red ? I have blue,green orange and red but I had to route out the holes for my short style red buttons. The cab I'm building now will sport a 3/16" thick metal control panel so my routing days are over. ;D

Well.. what a ya know, heres some long style red ones. ::) Prices are a bit steep though considering they don't come with the pal nuts or the button holders. :o
