LED-lit coin button -- did I invent something?
Tiger-Heli:
Really cool ideas !!!!!

I was wondering about this - If they are friction fit so they don't fall out, how would you remove them to install in a different colored button? (Unless you just destoyed the plunger part of the old button).

Wow, I want some 1 and 2 player discs....
Did you also just find a solution for the LED's hitting the ceiling? Can you get colored or frosted discs?

Mostly it's the spring inside the plunger that holds it up and in place... Initially I thought it might rotate once inside, but it seems like the spring is aggressive enough to keep it still. Still testing them furiously, wouldn't want them to spin around on you guys.

Great :) I can frost the backs of the discs myself. It should help diffuse a lot of the light. I'll do some testing on my own setup.

I was thinking of doing something like that while back but the slacker in me won out.
May have to do it during winter. :)

Ahh missed that one, that's a good one too! The shape is already in one of the sheets I offer too, so I'll just have to add the reverse treatment.
Thanks!
