Title: WTB: 2 atari cone start buttons
Post by: exibar on August 29, 2004, 09:44:33 pm

Does anyone have a pair of working Atari Cone start buttons for sale?

  Let me know if you do and how much.  Hmmmm... how much do these go for anyway?  Are they expensive ?

They are probably the most expensive arcade button around, up to like 10 or 15 bucks each for used.

No, that is why they cost so much. If they were available new then they would be $1-2 like every other button.

yikes!  10 - 15 bucks a pop???

  Looks like I'll be looking for a different type of button....

  But, if anyone has one, let me know.  I'll only want one at that price :-(

Exibar: When you get it, use some aluminum wheel rim polish on it. Rub vigoursly (or use a Dremel with polishing bit). Those babies SHINE when polished up. Way nicer than those black plastic cones.

Does anyone have ONE extra of the black plastic ones?  I have a complete Centipede control panel, except that I don't have matching nuts (I know, sounds painful).  I'll measure the size, but one of them is too tall.
