Your not being harsh and your input is very helpful. Listen, I have a few REAL ILLUMINATED CHERRY BUTTONS ;D on the way ;D. A good freind of GameCab.com was able to come to the rescue.
I do like the buttons that you have presented and really feel it was a great effort made in helping out. I am going to order a few of the buttons that you have mentioned and see if it's possible to make them fit as well. I happen to be a fan of the Cherry buttons myself, they have been around for years and the quality of these buttons are fantastic. I think I should have something to display on the GameCab website by mid next week. I am also making a mold of a High Volcano Cone this weekend as the ones I displayed are low cones.
Thanks again

Ok, I just got the button from Newark today as well as the Cherry buttons. It turns out that the Newark button is indeed "Lightable" and has a socket to place a small bulb or LED (depending on what you want to install. The only downside about the Newark button is that you have to spend an extra $1.10 for the lens and I'm sure radio shack has the bulb.
Now the Newark button seems to drop in cost if you purchase a larger amount. I think the price went to $10 for 25 buttons. I agree that that price is high but the button look as it can take a beating.
On the other hand, the Cherry buttons are also priced the same although I forget the discount for larger purchases. The plus side about the Cherry button is that it comes with a lens and bulb.
So attached is the picture of the Newark button . Personaly I think I may just sell the button covers without the button as the threads of both buttons are the same.
Everyone - Thanks for all the input, I hope to have the buttons ready for sale within a few days.
Thanks
Charlie
froggerman:
Has there been any update on this topic? Does anyone know what the part number is for the Cherry pushbutton?
Gamecab:
Froggerman,
As far as I was able to gather, Cherry no longer makes the needed pushbutton. Trust me, I have searched long and hard.
JODY:
What about using a different one such as the one pictured by Carsten Carlos?
Gamecab...are you still planning on releasing the plastic part for use with other buttons or are you waiting to make sure it works with a particular button? I'd like a few for a project I plan on starting soon.
