Anyone using any on their pedals? I'd love to find a use for them, but they are so tall and wide... And I believe most are SPDT, so it would have limited use for a pedal. Just curious if anyone is using any.

Yeah, that's about the only place I've seen them so far.

They'd be great on a pedal using relay bypass switching..

anybody got a good source for these? Last time I looked I couldn't find anything useful AND good-looking. Just lookin' for the classic arcade-style cupped button with the bezel around it.

Just search eBay for "arcade buttons". Plenty to choose from!

+1 for Happ. I used to be in purchasing for a manufacturer in the coin-op arcade business back when there was one :roll:
