@g would be nice if that was remotely possible to search

do they even make those anymore?
-F

@Felthry i don't know, sorry, but i would guess they probably do?

@Felthry @g For the physical buttons look up button bank switches. It looks like they might still make them in a variety of numbers in a bank

@Kilroy @g oh thank you, that looks like it'll work

we'll look into it further when we get back to work, i don't feel like doing too much stuff for work off the clock

@noiob that's what i thought but searching for that only turns up the computer usage of them

we're working on a thing at work that could probably benefit from some of those and i don't know how to find them, or if they even still make them

@Felthry seems like they were only really made for radios, so they probably stopped being made as soon as those switched to push buttons

@Felthry they're just another mechanical part that got replaced with software

@noiob we've seen them on a bunch of old test equipment and never on a radio, but *shrug*

@Felthry they definitely were on a ton of radios
ha, maybe that's the easiest way to get one, find some old broken radio you can harvest them from

@noiob yeah we've never seen a radio with them but we haven't exacctly seen a ton of old radios, don't doubt they exist

the one old radio we have has all knobs instead

@Felthry here's some great examples https://www.jitbit.com/alexblog/242-the-history-of-a-radio-button/
