No apologies necessary. I was just confused about my colleagues. So if you are using a push button, it means you don't have a foot stomp. Bills advice is even more right on. Use a stock spring loaded key switch from 55.2 up, not the foot type. This is clean, simple, rated for use and original looking, just like you want.

It could very well be that one or both of those switches you are using will fail or be dangerous. As a related issue that brings up a question I have. Why does my new 1959 Panel 6cyl have a foot stomp. I thought they "switched" over before that. What is the history re: Foot stomp in TF.
