    In the middle of a Big Guns restore and I am lighting up the cabinet flipper buttons. Was hoping to do something similar with the credit button but to my surprise there only seems to be one style on the market - white!?

    Is my google-fu failing me? Is this true?

    Assuming it is, has anybody ever tried 3D printing something transparent or is there another clever way to put in a lighted credit button?

    good call! You would think i would have realized this as I have a taxi. I think it's safe to say there aren't too many options for this button. Not really feeling a green button on my Big Guns.

    I've wondered this also. I'd like a red one for my Firepower

    They look similar to the older style Williams EM flipper buttons. Are they not the same size? I know they used them for the credit button on the EMs too, and you can get those in red.

    I actually used a clear flipper button with a colour changing LED behind it. Have a look here -

    I did a bit of McGyvering on the button but didn't have to drill out the hole or anything. I used the parts from the original button along with a piece of plastic tube. I can take some pictures of the inside if anyone is interested.

    Just saw this reply, very cool. So where is the clear plastic button coming from? I'd love to see the inside pics too.

    Great find on shapeways eh97ac. I may have to see what the quality of the acrylic transparent looks like.
