I thought i read that you could get them from japan but they were 10 bucks EACH! (not sure of the validity of that though)

A quick search of the forum turned up This link to Carsten's page (http://arcade@mittelalterlicher-markt.de/arcade/flashbutton.htm)

I'm not sure if he's using compettitions persay but they're "regular" horizontal microswitch buttons from happs... (not quite what you asked for but it's one work around)

Good luck

EDIT Erik Ruud's page (http://erikruud.freeservers.com/arcade/buttons.html) might be a better place to start as he did it first

Cool thanx for that Rampy. The second site with installation of the Leds was pretty nice and those are the buttons I would be using. Thanx.

-See Ya!!!

It would be so much easier if someone would produce transparent push buttons. (HINT TO OSCAR CONTROLS) Then you could put a light, or even a black light under the control panel and get an awsome effect. someone has to do it! also, is there a circuit that could make the start button flash (considering it has an LED) when you coin up?

Thanks
