Generic Eric:
Is this stemmed from that boombox thread awhile back by any chance?

Also, where do you find buttons like these?  Are you going to craft a mock-up or do you have a 5 position mechanical switch like this?

jdbailey1206:
In all seriousness though if done correctly this would make a very interesting looking cab.  I keep thinking about markc74's Blip build mixed with the picture below.



It would be cool to make it so the labels next to the buttons interchangeable in case you ever wanted to switch up games.

Or even have a small switch like the Atari had to select your game...

Paradise has color inserts for LED buttons here.  ** For some reason the page isn't loading right now. :( **

You can see a few of the color inserts in this pic.


You could also print your own inserts on Avery 18665 or 8665 clear stickers.

Le Chuck:
Those are okay but I wouldn't want those myself. I'm leaning much more towards the audio box style posted above.

I kind of miss those old analog radio buttons where you had to push hard to change the dial to a factory set position. Last car I saw it in was the family Mustang. Been meaning to hunt one down for a cab idea. The pot can be read by an AVR or suitable to yield keyboard inputs.

Just saying. I love the tactile feedback.
