does anyone know of a source for the old-style miniature P1/P2 start buttons that would light up when a quarter was inserted? they were usually orange, if i remember correctly, and much smaller than regular buttons. they were on top of a raised button surface. i looked in all the usual places and couldn't find much of anything, and i even had a hard time coming up with a picture of some as an example, but i think they're on the left side of the attached picture (from an Xevious panel). it seems like they were most often used on cocktail cabinets, but i could be wrong about that.
anyway, any pointers would be much appreciated.

i remember seeing posts about these before, try searching for atari dome buttons. or something like that

I'm working on having them repro'd. They're a really simple device. I called Cherry and they quoted me $25,000 just to get the tooling done! I know it can be done much cheaper than that. Especially since the switch part is already done.
