Nick, I remember that there is a third party that makes replacement buttons for the Centracoms. The also made custom buttons.

Will,

Any idea who it was... I have seen some places around, but they wanted $2000+ for just the buttons...


Thanks,
Nick

I seem to remember that there was an advertiser in Mobile Radio Technology magazine that made buttons for Centracom B&L and others to order. I don't have a copy of the mag here at home but I can look Monday. Maybe someone else on here is a subscriber. Ad was in the classified section in the back of the mag...

They are advertised as $12.50 each.

Northeastern Communications Inc.

In the March 2006 issure of MRT the ad is on the top left of page 64.

No website for them is listed.
