Thanks so much for the response, but I'm not sure I understand.

The switch goes to ground on one wire, and the output of the circuit
on the other wire. What's happening with Vcc and the input/output of
the 4069 isn't clear to me.

Also, there are two connections for the switch on the circuit board.
One seems to be ground, and the other seems to have 5v on it and
registers a button press when it's tied to ground.

Can you provide a little more info? Thanks again.
