You could try jaycar (www.jaycar.com.au) or drop Chris a line at Ozstick (www.ozstick.com.au).

Yeah, Jaycar's Website gives me a Headache.

Price in Jaycar 2004 Catalogue range from $7.30 - $9.90

Still not as sexy as the one you want.

...Alternatively. You could use or hack a USB Numeric Keypad like this:

They are easy to obtain in Oz

You can attach it to the front of your cab with velcro... and have it as portable as well. It is full re programable and all.

i have thought about using the usb pads but i reckon it'd look like a jumble of parts where'as these keypads, though they require a bit more work, will look a lot better in the long run. and they're cheaper, and a new 'big' jaycar store has just opened up near me so ill go have a look there i reckon.

When I build my Jukebox I'm just going to use a whole lot of leftover buttons from my Arcade table project
