Title: Which yellow buttons?
Post by: Stobe on November 22, 2006, 10:59:28 pm

I'm wanting to order some yellow buttons for a pac-man bartop project I'm working on, but I have 2 different colored yellow buttons here at home (and not enough of wither color, unfortunately).  One is more of a bright yellow, while the other is more like a mustard yellow.  I want the bright ones, since they match the pac-man color, but I don't know where I got them,  Would anyone happen to know if these are the happs buttons, or what?

Thanks,
Stobe

Any markings on them at all like model numbers or anything?

Or post a pic of both and that might help identify them.

Here's a pic of the two types I have up against an early version mockup of my CPO.  The one on the left is the one I think works better, and would like to order more of.

Thanks!

I love that artwork.  I wish there was a way I could get that art with a light blue or pink background.


anyone?  (sorry stobe for hijacking)

I do agree that the button on the left is nicer and if I can ever get the artwork I will be looking for the same buttons.  The one on the left.  :o

Timoe,

I recreated that artwork almost completely in Photoshop, and have all the layers saved.  I can easily change any colors or spacings you'd need.  In return you can build me one of your world famous CPs (j/k)

I'd be happy to hook you up with whatever you need.

I've only bought a few buttons directly from Happ and that was a few years ago, but they were the brighter yellow type. The new ones also match the ones that were in my Atari Primal Rage cabinet. As far as I can tell, all the parts in that cabinet are Happ (coin door, competition joys, etc).

Yes the bright yellow button is a Happ.

Yup!! They are Happ Buttons and Groovey Game Gear stock them at a very reasonable price.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I'm interested in tracking down the version of the yellow buttons that are on the RIGHT side of that picture.  The ones that are more mustard/gold if you will.  If seen them as leafswitch buttons, but not as micros as in the pic.
