Plans to fabricate Atari volcano buttons?

Yeah, I thought they looked similar but they are, indeed, different:

I'm in. Put me down for four switches. I like the red lenses. Call me a traditionalist. But I still need cones.

Obviously, Joymonkey, I'm in on whatever you end up with. Plus I'll buy you a cruller.
JoyMonkey:
I got the EAO samples yesterday and they look pretty good, though obviously not 100% identical to the Cherry switches. The 'neck' of the switch is a good bit shorter and the lens is longer, so the lens pokes out of the cone about 1/8" more than the original. Also, the switches activation distance is about twice that of the original and the red lens is a much brighter color that the originals.
I'm going out of town for a few days, but I'll take a few photos (lit and unlit) when I get back.
ChadTower:
That's still pretty sweet and most people would never notice.
