Title: Power Button
Post by: Haterot on July 17, 2009, 09:56:27 am

I recall seeing someone with a power switch. chrome or stainless steel with a blue led. The universal on/off logo was on the front where the light shined through. Anyone know where to find this or an equally cool looking power switch?

I think you may have been thinking about the one mountain used on his juke:

I used a 'Savage' car start button for Pinky and changed the blue LED for a pink one:

I have some [plain SS blue LED butons for sale (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=92706.0)] You could get Pongo to make you a power decal for one but it would prob be easier to find out where mountain got his from if thats the look you are going for.

Mountain also installed a similar one on the admin bar (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=63629.msg668652#msg668652) for his Mame project. I recall him saying he gets the buttons from his work place. The buttons come from Bulgin in the UK or something?

yeah Mountain's juke is the one I was recalling, but Ginsu gave me a nice site too. I'll have to see if mountain knows of a distributor.

I've gotten some Bulgin switches from
Here. (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=375&zenid=f0e25a2d7ef0f72acabff92e0aa14933) They come in all different colors. I used them in some pc case mods one time.... they are really great looking buttons. kinda pricey.. but its worth it imo.   Though the car start button looks pretty sweet.

Yeah, the ones I used were pre-production buttons that were used in our prototypes at work. The power logo was screen printed on them but I think Pongo can get them for you in vinyl.
