So you only want to replace the yellow button and find similar sticks for another project, right? If you're unsure whether they're the long or short buttons, why not just take one out and measure it? I have a few spare yellow leaf buttons that I think are in pretty good shape. I bought a grab bag of used leaf buttons off of ebay a few years back. Are the yellow buttons a normal plain-jane yellow or are they more of a yellow-orange traffic sign kind of color? I'm pretty sure I have buttons of both varieties. If I can find it I'll drop it in a padded envelope and send it first class mail to you (as long as you're in the US). I won't have a chance to look until tomorrow when I go to pick up some other stuff from my storage unit. Leaf joysticks rock and so does Trog. I was just thinking about that game the other day. At a truck stop I saw a World Class Bowling in a converted Trog cabinet. It was easy to identify since it still had a trog and a dino on the monitor bezel. |

If you did this for me it would be awesome! I am in TX. Trog is awesome and the dedicated cab is super hard to get. I would even buy a converted one in the hopes the side art can be converted back. I'd also love to have the monitor bezel you saw as it is super rare. Any chance you could snag that cab to sell or just the bezel? I am also looking for replacement sticks for the Trog itselft (I'm looking for a new 4 way for another project) since mine are rusted. I think Ponyboy has two of the colors I need which I'll be getting from him, but I need the other two still. If you don't end up finding the buttons, no worries, I found them new from Bob Roberts for about $1 plus shipping. Anyway, thanks a ton man. If you ever need anything that I can help you out on, let me know! |

Your 4-ways feel like 8way because the plastic has worn down over time and become a round opening instead of diamond. The yellow button is the color commonly called "Galaga gold". If you just buy "yellow" you'll end up with something more lemon yellow. |
