Where do I find mechanical pushbutton switch caps that look like this...

I'm having the darndest time finding these very common parts.
Catalogs, online, searching with the component codes from C&K: no luck.
I'm sure I'm just being silly brained.

I've got older gear where the caps are attached to the switch itself.

However, with BAE and OSA and some Valley people gear, I find something similar
to what C&K offers for their F series (F2UEE).

Anyone got a line on something like this?

Here's the C&K catalog I'm using for reference:

This isn't a priority, but if anyone can help out, then I'd owe them a huge thanks!

........
Thanks!

I think these are the old SCHADOW switches.
Originally from Germany.
But now taken over by / merged with ITT Cannon.
And ITT calls these C&K again, and you are back to square one.

I found this. Is that the pushbutton you need ?
Internal is a mechanism that is called "fish eye" and in the color red or green.

Yep, thats pretty darn similar.
Usually the clamp at the top is part of the same piece of
plastic as the indicator. So if it is red, the clamp is red, etc.

However, this looks like it would work. I have never in my life
seen a pushbutton switch that was more dissimilar than similar
from the rest, if you know what I mean.

Whereabouts these parts did that photo travel from?

Thanks!

Could you make a photograph of the switch itself ?
Or from what is behind the front panel ?
Just for me to make sure I mean the right type of switch.

The parts are still available in the Netherlands as long as stock lasts...
I am sure the red and green ones are in stock.
