I probably should have asked this question before I almost finished it, but are the Korry Switches in the B747 Overhead Panel latching or momentary. Which is best to use. I made my Korry Switches out of 3/4" and 1" Acrylic square tubing. I've tried tactile, mini latching and push button latching switches (1st pic)and none have been satisfactory mechanically; problems with my korry buttons sticking or moving around because they aren't psychically attached to the switch, just positioned against it. I guess I need something a little more heavy duty with a plunger that I can actually attach to the Korry button. I was looking at this switch online (2nd pic), The cheapest I can find is for momentary $2.35 x 78 switches = $183.30 or for latching $2.75 x 78 switches = $214.50. Way more than I want to spend unless they work much better. Has anyone else had better success at building Korry switches?
