Looking for 2 Atari Cone Shaped Illuminated buttons
« on: July 24, 2002, 08:51:36 pm »
Hi Folks, I'm interested in getting a pair of the illuminated P1/P2 cone shaped buttons that were found on Centipede/Missile Command, etc.  If this turns out to be one of those "hard to finds" I probably am not interested b/c I'm not doing a rehab, I just like the buttons.  If you have these or a line on them please let me know.

Here's what I'm talking about:


THANKS!

They're on ebay all the time... unfortuantely VERY pricey

Usually the BARE button (without cone) goes for $15 a piece
The cones range from $5-$15 each!

Whole ones $25-$30 typically in both black plastic (low or high hat) or brushed aluminum (high hat) styles.

I found nearly identical ones on RadioShack's web site, but they're no longer available by internet, phone or in stores :(  GRRRR And I'm NOT paying $25 a pop for them.

Check out RGVAC (link above if you're not familar).  This same question comes up all the time in there.  There are a couple of regulars that have these.  I can't remember the exact prices they quote, but I want to say that it is about $20-30/pair.  If you can find them for cheaper than that, then you got a pretty good deal.

Someone else in RGVAC was supposed to be making repro's, but that has been ongoing for quite some time.  No ETA last I heard.
