Hello Everybody

I am in the process of builing my C3m linestage on a wooden chassis with a metal top. I am getting the wooden chassis and the metal top from VT4C. I was looking for an illuminated round push button switch for powering on purposes.

I got this idea from the the Yamamoto A-08S amp I have, and it has a very nice illuminated push button switch from NKK and the model is NKKDLB2145 with AT418 & AT-604-6V spec's. I was just planning to get one of those and hookup as Yamammoto San had done in his amp. I have circuit and built this amp in the kit form, so I know the connections. The following link to Yamamoto website shows what I am talking about:

But NKK has discontinued this model and it seems like it is hard to get NKK switches here in US.

DigiKey has NKK switches listed as non-stocked items, so my guess is they would custom order if one places an order for a switch. My problem, I am just lost with the vast array of switches they have. The closest I felt that comes to my requirements is digikey part number: KB26CKW01-05-JB-RO-ND.

Would appreciate any help from fellow hobbyists if they can point me to similar kind of illuminated switch or if they have any experience with NKK switches similar to NKKDLB2145 or if the switch I have listed above is a suitable one for my application.

Thanks
Sridhar
