The holes are only slightly smaller. You probably wouldn't notice the difference by looking. And if you enlarge the holes I don't think they'd be large enough that you couldn't put originals in there later. To answer your earlier question, blue buttons for P1/P2 and orange for start. Mikesarcade also has repro buttons but the blue isn't a very good match so a lot of people don't like them. If you think the joystick parts are expensive then the buttons will probably be more than you'll want to pay as well. I was figuring you might just need a few parts, not the whole joystick. |

cool...i'll have to look at it more closely when i pick it up. i know that the joystick base is there, and a few microswitches.. no shaft or actuator or anything... once i get it i'll try to find an exploded diagram of the stick to see what's missing. |

The part # is 23-10 (my cocktail uses different ones, which seem to be smaller on the drawings, probably due to the way the button is mounted and the tight space. The cocktail buttons don't stick out thru the control panel like normal buttons on the uprights) I'll give you that the buttons themselves are very similar to leaf style, but the switches themselves are definitely micros :) Severedhed, look at the PDF links on the site I linked above, you'll find the complete manuals for TKG2-UP, TKG3-UP and TKG4-UP, which have exploded drawings of all the parts on the machine including part numbers for everything. You should be able to figure out what's missing. Heck, you might check the for sale section on the KLOV forums. Occasionally DK parts come up for sale. Although you probably can't afford it at the moment, someone there a couple days ago was selling a DK "kit", which was basically the marquee, bezel, working DK PCB, and control panel for $225 shipped. You'd still need the monitor and power supply/wiring (assuming they're missing, of course). Link here: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=100817 |

Mike's also sells a CP with art, buttons and joysticks, etc. for $85 which might be worth considering. The joy isn't a Nintendo original though - I think that is $50 extra. |
