Title: where to buy atari cones plus LED buttons?
Post by: TheShanMan on March 05, 2008, 03:11:40 am
I know RAM makes reproduction cones and buttons. I need 2 more, and since I have the original textured plastic ones I'll probably want to replace my original cones for a consistent look (the RAM ones aren't textured plastic). I want to end up with 4 total, for player 1-4 start.

I believe I'll be paying about $20 each for a cone/LED button set from what I'm seeing, but I'm at least hoping to get a better price on shipping than the $15 that RAM charges. This is going to be expensive enough as it is! I've seen the cones sold with LED buttons, but only with the silver cones, not the black. Does anyone know where to get the tall black cones with LED buttons?

There is someone selling them in lots of 8 or 10 on Ebay as well. He claims to have virtually an unlimited supply. He lists them as Nintendo buttons but they look just like the Atari cones.

I did a search on nintendo buttons and didn't see what you're referring to. Though I'm sure the cost of 8 or 10 buttons is beyond what I want to pay, I'm interested in seeing it anyway. Any chance you can provide a link or the search words you used?

Those sure do look like the atari ones, and a great price for sure. Those are the short cones. I'm getting some from David from RAM though, so anyone else who wants cone buttons, have a look at that ebay auction!
