Got a couple of cool things in the mail yesterday, among other things a set of 3mm tactile switches.
I asked around on Twitter for drop-in-place buttons, and the friendly people from Mouser EU spent some time trying to find the right switch for the job as well. The host of YourGeekFix found some buttons that look the part, so I ordered a couple of those just to be sure.
However, after drilling out the post that holds the spring in place on the original buttons, and filing down the sides of the switches, I can safely say that I managed to turn these duds into fully functional buttons!

Here's a pic with one button built in, and another on the side to show its type:

These buttons are super tiny, and the rims got scuffed up a bit. Nothing a bit of Rub 'n Buff or Molotow Liquid Chrome won't fix.

Next up, knobs!

I ordered some Bakelite dial knobs, in the hope to spice up the side-dial of the Rad-Meter.
I'm still on the fence whether or not I go for the original or the more industrial-looking knob. Both of them are very easy to install. We'll see when the rest gets done. I got 10 of 'em! And yeah I manhandle my parts. Call it "Natural Weathering" ;).

All that's left for the Rad-Module now is:

• Print out Rad-Meter Waterslide Decal to put on the VU-Meter.
• Find a way to wire all the buttons and dials together so I only have a couple of wires going out of the module. Perhaps a mux should be installed? Not sure.

That's it for the Rad Module!
