(Thanks for the AMUX part number, Erik!)

All,

We're also looking for a number of INEXPENSIVE "mushroom-cap" style
Emergency Stop buttons for our robot.

I'd prefer either the:
A) "push off, pull on" type, or 
B) "push off, twist ring to pop it back up and turn on" type.

SPST "UP/ON=closed" is fine. SPDT, DPDT (UP/ON=Closed) or DPDT 
are all acceptable alternatives.  They should have mounting bracket
options available (or else be easily mounted without requiring an
obnoxiously large and expensive hole punche :-).

Most of the ones I've found to date have either had TINY caps,
or are VERY expensive.  We need 3-6 ones that can be EASILY seen
(bright yellow/red, etc.), AND easily actuated in a panic situation.

Anyone know of a good brand/partnumber/source for some reasonably CHEAP 
ones that'll work for us, with a decent sized mushroom cap head that 
nicely fits the palm?

Thanks!

- Keith Mc.
