Where To Buy Emergency Stop Buttons?

Where can I buy several inexpensive (red) emergency stop buttons? I
have looked many places for such buttons and the best that I could find
were Cutler-Hammer? buttons sold in a Ebay auction that I lost to a
fast last-second bidder. Any help is appreciated!
 
Do a google for them, possible source may be police, fire department,
traffic control, etc. Happy New Year

For an emergency STOP button, we use any good heavy duty large type
push button. When we want a red knob, we use some primer and spray
paint to pain the top button. This is the easiest and fastest way to
have one.

Thanks a lot guys. I purchased some red pushbuttons from
AutomationDirect (22mm somethings) for a good enough price and now have
exactly what I needed. Thanks again!

What does 'inexpensive' mean? Allied Electronics is heavily into
heavy duty switches. And I have a memory of seeing one in
the Digikey catalog. Figure in the $50 and up range.

Should be a standard surplus item. Try 'Surplus Electronics'
(I think they changed their name, though) here in sunny
Cleveland, Ohio.

If it means free: look in enough junk heaps and you should
find some to rip out of a panel.

But face it, if you need an emergency stop you need
a new working emergency stop switch, and not one that has
been sitting outdoors for year.

Absolutely! Back in the days when I designed off-line switchers, in
spite of having special isolating front-ends for the 'scopes, I had
the electricians add a "panic" button to drop all the power in the
lab. Barely a week after its installation I had to punch it to get a
technician loose from 240VAC. (Lab rules also required a minimum of
two people in the lab before you could power-up anything.)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
