I am looking for a solution where 2 buttons can be installed in a single button hole. I know I have seen these (I have some somwhere)... They look like a large button divided into two. Has 2 Microswitches on the back.

Anyone? I need a couple to add 2 buttons to a control panel, but I dont want to destroy it by drilling 2 extra holes.
 
I might want some of these...never saw a button like that...so bump...
 
After posting I found one. As you can see, the side of it has been filed down so that 2 button sets would sit side by side. Springs on these are also broken.

I need at least 2. Anyone know where i can get them? or have any?

Wow, that's cool. I have never seen those before

Yeah. I have a game that I want to put a 60-in-1 temporarily, but I dont want to drill another button hole. I may have to just use these if no one has any or knows where to get them.

There are no identifying marks on them anywhere...
 
I saw those buttons once on (I think?) a Captain Commando? It was a big blue Capcom cab, and it used those style buttons. Unfortunately, I don't have any more info as to where to get them from.
 
Okay, here are the pics. I currently have it put together with the 2-buttons with switches. It can be configured for either 1 big button, or 2 half buttons, or 3 triangular buttons.

Brand new (except for the cherry switches but they work), never used:

$13 shipped if you want it....

Cool, I'll take it. Got just one?
 
Yes. My distributor sent me one a long time ago to "evaluate" and i never even bothered as it wasn't something I wanted...
 
I have a couple of NOS 3 switch buttons. The same ones used on Atari Relief Pitcher.
It has red,yellow and green top plastic. $12 each plus shipping.
 
Some distributor used to sell similar ones on ebay a couple of years back. I recall that the individual buttons (3) were circular, and not sections of a single circle.

I was going to put one in the Crystal Castles and rig up a Missile Command setup. If I find them in the garage, I'll post a picture.
