replace normal pushbutton with Happs illuminated buttons?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Derf00:
I don't have any direct personal experience with the Happs but when they were still listed on their site, I could've sworn the hold diameter was identical to the Competition style buttons  :dunno

Naru:
Competition is 1-1/8"
The small illuminated pushbutton
http://www.happcontrols.com/pushbuttons/5400042x.htm
fit inside a 1" hole.
The button isn't really smaller, but the shaft is.
The other styles of Happs illuminated buttons
would be too large to use as regular buttons.

Part Numbers for the Happ parts used in the Retroblast Review.

58-0092-LT Blue
58-0098-LT Orange
58-0090-LT Red
58-0093-LT Green
58-0094-LT Clear
58-0095-LT Yellow

I highly recommend getting them from PonyBoy or divemaster127 on the BYOAC forums if you go the Happ route.

Are you confusing illuminated and translucent ? Or perhaps the OP was. Or maybe it looked like I was because i was suggesting MikeDeuce's labels as not looking cheap.

* CheffoJeffo pulls out his trusty Happs catalog ...
Happs illuminated buttons come in a wide range of sizes, but most of the ones I am seeing have shafts with a diameter less than an inch. The four that I have are all too small to fit nicely in a 1.125" hole.

Cheers

Well, shoot...I don't want to make a whole new control panel, and the holes are already there, and I definitely need to label the buttons somehow.....So hopefully I'll hear back from the dude with the vinyl stickers....Looking back through the threads, it sounds like he may go through periods where he goes dark, but maybe he'll come out of hiding again soon.
