| Missile command buttons - Cherry or Licon? |

If anyone has an original un-restored Missile Command machine sitting around can you tell me if the three fire buttons used the Chrerry brand of switch or the Licon brand? The Cherry switch has a lighter touch and a softer clicking noise. The Licon switch has a bit more movement, is louder and forceful. The manufacturer should be listed directly on the switch. Thank you, Joe |

I would have thought missile command used leaf switches. I thought all the older games did. |

Nope. It used the Atari LED "start" buttons. I'm not sure which brand Atari used though. |

Those are the volcano buttons right? Those were MICROSWITCH buttons? You sure about that? |

The volcano switches that came in my atari football were Licon. But it was 23 years old when I bought it, so they could be replacements. And yes they are microswitches. For sure. I have some Cherry ones too, and they are also microswitches. |
