Title: blue translucent buttons
Post by: cbmeeks on May 12, 2005, 12:13:30 pm

I have decided to theme my cab in Berzerk.

I want to paint the cab black with all blue buttons and chrome joysticks.  Would be really cool if the buttons were translucent and glowed blue.

Where is a good place to get the buttons?

thanks

Sounds like Knievals cab here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,30538.0.html).

I think Happs, Wico, and The Real Bob Roberts supply translucents, but as far as I'm aware you need to buy and mount the led's yourself.

Centsible Amusements is where i got my translucent buttons, they are a great place to deal with, i've had great luck with them...however, they are leaf buttons.  And finding the leaf switches/button holders have proved to be quite a problem. 

I was forced to go through WICO for mine and i'm still waiting for them after 2 weeks.

oh sweet jesus that is one nice cab!

Yeah, I will rip that off...lol

seriously, I will probably copy the CP some but that is exactly the look I am after.  Mine, would have the Berzerk marquee and sideart though.

Thanks!

If you want blue microswitch translucents, I'm getting pretty close to ordering my production run.

Errmmm, see the ten-page thread that's almost always at the top of this forum.

11 now, it looks like you'll have to wait a month or two to get them yet. But it looks to me like they would be worth it.
