Title: Any controls like this?
Post by: chrisindfw on January 09, 2004, 04:36:40 pm: Are there any other type of buttons like this one?

I am wondering if there were any similar ones perhaps cheaper?

2 inch buttons @ $5.95 a piece...

Might luck out with a lot thats been used but easy to clean up

Gamesman 200 series (http://www.brentelectronic.com/html/products.asp?partno=60200926WEB&catid=704) (63.30mm or about 2.5") A tad smaller than you want though...

I thought... hmmmmmmm If I can get a microswitch in there, I have my buttons for my "You Dont Know Jack" control panel! And also saving me 20 bucks a light from Happs.

Thoughts?
