Neat idea; thanks for sharing.  

But a 35 mm film canister?  What’s “film”?

    Normally open push button switch built into an old 35mm film container a 
hunk of RG-174 coax and a 1/4 inch jack. You could spend a ridiculous amount of 
money and get the official Heil switch which was built into a pistol grip.

    Subject: [Elecraft] PTT switch for K3
    
    I plan to try the SSB QSO party next weekend, and have the adapter for the 
K3 and a Heil headset – but I need a remote PTT switch with a ¼ inch mono plug 
on one end and a pushbutton switch at the other.  All I have been able to find 
online are nurse call buttons – which I suppose would work but the big red 
cross on the button is off-putting, and because they are made for use in a 
hospital environment they are expensive.  Anyone suggest a source?
    
    Thanks, as always,
    
    Ted, KN1CBR
