Title: WTB: big red emergency stop button for 120v AC and industrial looking start swtc
Post by: exibar on October 20, 2008, 10:11:03 pm
Anyone have one of those bit red mergency stop buttons for 120v AC (regular US house current)?  I'm in need of one for a project. 
   I'm also i need of a start switch, should look "old and industrial", I'm thinking like something from an old piece of factory machinery...  maybe a combination of start/stop buttons, push start and stop pops out, push stop and start pops out...

   lemme know what you have, send a pic if it's hard to describe...  "old and industrial" is wht I'm trying to go for, but they must be functional and safe for 120v AC house current, they'll be turning on a big AC motor....

  I'm in Mass, Zip 02770

  thanks all!

That'd be great if you had one laying around.  I see some on ebay but they want like $30 for the switches plus $15 for shipping.... either that or they're coming from Hong-Kong.  Funny though, the shipping from HK is almost always less than $10..   $30 - $40 for a switch is just too expensive...  My wife keeps tabs on my spending, which is a good thing now that I think of it :-)

These guys have many:

They also have an US shop, called Allied something, but their interface sucks. So take the product number from the UK site and order it at the US site.
It's free shipping, and prices are from 5-10$ I guess
