Title: Blue pushbuttons darker than Happs available?
Post by: Ninten-doh on May 17, 2008, 01:06:01 pm

I'm looking for dark blue horizontal pushbuttons.  The standard Happ ones are too light a blue for my project.  Any idea if there are darker ones available?

The Yenox (http://www.lizardlickamusements.com/images/for_sale/pushbuttons/yenox_blue.jpg) buttons look darker than the Happs (http://www.lizardlickamusements.com/images/for_sale/pushbuttons/horz_pb_%20010.jpg).
Thanks to Lizard Lick (http://www.lizardlickamusements.com/pages/pushbuttons.shtml) for the images.

Thanks for the Yenox recommendation.  Ultimarc might also have a dark blue from the looks of the pic on their site, but that might just be a dark picture of a standard Happ button.  Plus $14 shipping for a couple of buttons!   :dizzy:

Is this a restoration project? Or something you've conceived? If it's a restoration, perhaps someone will know the part you're looking for?

Ultimarc (http://www.ultimarc.com/controls.html) "source our buttons from I-L (http://www.industrias-lorenzo.com)". Ponyboy (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=36770.0) is a US based I-L and Happ distributor. Perhaps he can tell you if the I-L is darker and ship you a few for a more reasonable amount. Bob Roberts (http://homearcade.org/BBBB/buttons.html) has a large selection of colors in leaf switch buttons.
