Ok, here's what I'm coming up with for pricing, someone let me know if there are better references. I'm trying to do this so it makes sense for me as I'll have to mail carry stock etc, but so that I can save everyone something over the main brands.

Basic tranlucent button shown, any color 1.35 grade B micro(125g force), 1.70 grade A micro(60g force)

Chrome buttons shown, any color 1.75 Grade B, 2.10 Grade A

LEDs
Single LED - .40 (Red, Green, White, Blue, Yellow)
4 spot LED - 1.00 (Red, Green, White, Blue, Yellow)
7 spot LED - 1.40 (Red, Green, White, Blue, Yellow)
SMD 1 watt - 3.50 (Pink, Red, Green, White, Blue, Yellow)
SMD 1.5 watt - 4.00 (Pink, Red, Green, White, Blue, Yellow)

The single LED buttons looked great on my cab

I didn't put a microswitch in, but it gets mounted on the bulb mount.
(hahaha Time Harvest stole my picture, but I told them they better give me some presents :) )

Pretty cool. I like the idea that you can provide them cheap.

I think I remember a thread where you had a pic of the bulbs. (Hmmm maybe it wasn't you)

Anyway, would these be proper on a pinball? I suppose a general bayonnet led bulb would work but have you tried any of your led's on a pinball?

If I can get out cheaper than I can get a kit from one of the usual suspects, I would prolly be will to give some of these a whirl on my Big Guns. What about led's for the flash lamp sockets?

Hmmmm maybe I am straying from the subject........arcade led's

Anyway, lmk.

Craziness, If enough people were interested I would do an order of arcade or pin LED's. All the bulbs, flashers, etc can easily be done, that's why I got a nice selection to just mess with so I know what to order. I got about 50 samples and have just been playing.

I was looking at the pic you posted of the led's can you get a different type bayonnet led other than the 5 smd or the led that shines out the top.....

Wow, if you could get them like the one's that are #7 and #8 in the line of bulbs you show I would be stoked.

Are those (the 7th and 8th one's) very bright? I would think the one with 4 leds sticking out would be real bright (oops) and the one with 7 would even brighter!

Anyway, I like the idea. lemme go look at what they offer for what I want and I'll show you what they offer

I've seen the flasher bulbs and other pinball lights. I have a bunch of other lights in hand that are exactly what the replacement companies offer. I just haven't posted them because I was posting buttons here, The only thing I'm having a hell of a time finding are the color changing LED's which I had a few of a while ago and really enjoy. Post some links or pm me some links and we'll get this moving.

oh yea sorry about the double post. thats why you should never edit your posts on your cell phone lol.

Holy Smokes Robin! I think I just posted for no good reason again!!
 
Brian, If I took 4 each of

Basic translucent button, 1.35 grade B micro(125g force) Single LED - .40 (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow)

If that's what these are:

How much would that run me? What's the diff in the micros?
 
Phet, yep thats the basic single LED,

1.75 a piece for the 1st micro, that micro requires 125 grams of force to push, compared to the 75 grams in a normal cherry. I don't mind it, but some people say the feel is too stiff.

2.10 a piece of the 2nd micro, 60 g of force, compared to 75 in the normal cherry, extremely smooth, will feel like butta :)

So it would be 28 for 4 of each color of the 1st micro, or 33.60 for the second, then shipping, I think I can get 16 into a small flat rate box for 4.95, if not it would be 10.70. I should start advertising fillers like Kona Coffee or Carimacs if people need to go up one size in shipping lol...
 
Im going to order some of these. I just need to figure out how many. Most of my machines have leaf buttons, and these wont work. Im hoping I can use some in my Satans hollow Ct and my 60-1:)
 
Restock is here, but...they sent me 125 g force micros, so it will be a few days until orders ship, sorry everyone....but I still have lots of nice buttons.
