red key caps for m2616

[PBXStu]

does anyone know where I can order red key caps for m2616 phones, red caps with clear windows or even custom ones. The vendor from several years ago had put them on the phones for a fire/code key and I have been taken them off of defective phones and reusing them but I need alot more.
I searched the web and ebay with no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Stu

Have you thought about using a pot of RED enamel model paint to paint standard key caps with. Time consuming and messy, but a solution.

I have seen colored keys, and it would be nice if you could get them with the words you want. I would consider calling a plastics company and asking if they will paint and print using your on-site supply of standard issue caps.

If it is less than 100 phones, you could just print on red paper.

Nortel used to make key cap kits... part numbers are in MD-2004-0086-Global which can be found via Google.

There's a number of old phone refurbishers out there who supply new key caps with the phones - so someone out there has the molds and tooling if they're still churning them out. Just a matter of running a batch with a different color plastic.

I still see "new" refurb Norstar phones with a green key in the keycap package... so *someone* out there is making them.

Check with CTDI and other companies to see about getting a custom package.
