It looks like my buttons are similar to yours, but the holes have been widened to the size of a regular push button. I don't think the cone will fit. I'm leaning towards picking up a different control panel and selling this one.

I'm sure a cone will not fit into a regular pushbutton-sized hole. It just barely fit the one's on my CP which are smaller. There are ways to close the holes. People have done it lots of times here. Than you can drill new holes.

Yes, I agree. I may still go this route, but if the person that expressed interest in my control panel is still interested, it may make more sense to sell / trade it and get one requiring less work. If no interest, I'll figure out how to repair the holes.

That looks like it might be an amp connector... I see no reason one with that many slots would be original. Just get a new matching pair and repin to that pair. It's much easier than trying to find a match for an unknown connector from some point in the past 25 years.

Okay, if that's not original I'll replace it with something else and match both sides. Didn't even think that it might not be original, but I guess that makes sense as it doesn't match any of the other connectors.

I don't know it isn't for sure - but it sure looks that way.
Level42, could you visually confirm from your cab?
Level42:
As you may know all my cabs are now in storage (see my gameroom thread), but I checked other pictures I made before and it _is_ a molex connector, but only 12 pins.
