I have one in my hand as I post this.   The left set of three have the NC and NO tabs labeled and the right set of two has the ground tab labeled.  It also says they consume 0.1A at -125VAC.

-125VAC?  Odd.

These are maximum allowable values.  You have to calculate proper resistance, so the current to the led is <=0.1A.

Amps are draw, not output.

Jouster:

Can you still buy these somewhere?  I thought  they were no longer available.

Or are there cheap (or not so cheap) knock offs available?

Here's one source......

There was an "Atari Cone Button War" going on awhile back about reproduction of these amongst some people. Not sure who all else is still supplying these though.

BrentRadio:

Jouster, did you need the buttons or the cones that go on them?

I have the cones very cheap if you need some.

Jouster:

I was really more curious than anything...I thought that I had read somewhere that the Atari cone buttons weren't being manufactured anymore.  $20 a button is a bit much...but then again...I don't have a cab to put them in yet.  I'm sure when I start my next project that won't seem so high.
