REFLECTOR: Source for LED based annunciator parts

[Brian Michalk]

Let me clarify.

Identical to each other, not the switch you referenced.
I wanted all of my switches to be internally lit, no matter if they are on
or off.  If you go with bi-color LED's, you can wire it up so that pressing
the switch causes it to change color.  All of my switches are this way that
drive remote solid state relays.  My critical switches, like magneto,
starter, etc. are on a sub-panel that I engraved on my machine.  They are
not internally lit, they are the sturdy toggle type.

Oh yeah.
 
Those are difficult, if not impossible to find.  They also sell one that is
exactly identical ... actually IS the switch combination for the ACU
annunciators.  Expect to pay somewhere between $30 to $50 for that switch.
 
I did the next best thing, and went with indicators and switches from EAO,
or NKK.  They are the same size and look identical.

Hello folks,

 

What have you done for your annunciators on the instrument panels?  Up to
this point, I had some naked LEDs mounted on the panel through a hole but
they just look crummy.  I would like to put in annunciators with letterings
like "DOOR", "SUMP LOW", "SPD BRK" in a cluster above my PFD.  Honeywell
makes the perfect thing but I cannot seem to find anyone who sell them.
Mouser, Digikey, etc comes out empty.

Does anyone know of a supplier for these (or something similar)?
