I may have a spare caps lock key for you.

Atari had many different cocktail tables. It would help if you listed exactly what parts you were looking for.

Also, Crystal Castles is one of Atari's rarer cocktails (production of 500).

Also, welcome to the Crystal Castles club, I own upright machine number 4219.

Actually I was referring to a caps lock key for a computer keyboard. Yours appears to be stuck in the on position.  ;D

Also, what are you going for, a restoration, or a MAME machine. For a restoration you may want to head over to the klov.com forums. For Mame keep reading here, and for the assorted parts you want, I suggest asking in the rec.games.video.arcade.collecting newsgroup, which will be your best shot for finding them. You may want to fix your stuck caps lock key before you venture into the newsgroup.

Yeah, my icon is way girlish, but I was born with a girl's name anyway, so, it doesn't matter.

Just letting you know about the caps lock thing, because a significant portion of the internet population will pretty much ignore anyone who types that way. If you don't feel comfortable using the shift key, then just type all lowercase, that is much more readable than all capital letters.
