Just got it today. It needs lots of work so before going ebay or online stores does anyone have a CPO, all cone buttons, or trackball rebuild kit you can hook me up with. I have paypal.

You're looking for a "deal" or what? Cuz all that stuff is available, but at "new" prices.

Cone buttons and trackball rebuild kits: www.therealbobroberts.com

Trackball rebuild kit: www.arcadeshop.com

Buttons show up on Ebay all the time, but not for cheap.

And as for the overlay, I can never remember which company you should avoid, so I'll let someone else recommend a source.

 ???  You're going to have to get more specific on where these are on his site.  I've never seen cones available, but I get lost in his site all the time.

Cone button prices are so crazy I would probably just drill the sucker out for normal buttons.

Regular cone buttons are not expensive....The LED cone buttons are VERY expensive.
Oh, the memories of living on pizza subs and Dr Pepper...

I seen they have a full wrap CPO that covers the entire CP. Are they a peel and stick deal or use your own glue? Are they easy to put on? I've never done this. So far I have the primer on and flat black. Will be putting the clear coat on as recommended soon.

Also, are the full wraps the way to go?

Full wrap is best, because you can wrap the very edges of the metal, with no worries of there being anything that can peel up through wear.

Hey man, before you spend all that money, take a look at what a CP for MC is pulling in.  I'm not sure, but I don't think you'll recover your expense.
