(affordable) atari cone buttons?
« on: October 29, 2012, 08:35:37 pm »
Hi guys, l'm looking for 3 atari cone style buttons to use on a project l'm working on. I don't mind if they are knockoffs, l just want something that looks like the cone buttons found on tempest and missile command.

Anyone know where l can get them for fair price?

Regards,

Arcade Shop has the cones.
Don't know about the buttons though...

The buttons themselves are notoriously hard to come by. So much so that I have purchased relatively obscure dead early atari titles at auction and sold the start buttons for more than I paid for the machine and then just drilled out the panel for modern start buttons.

I can supply some but I would have to kill a missile command cocktail project in order to do so.

Thanks all... wow $15 bucks w/out the cone is just too much for a button.

I picked up 8 NOS black buttons without cones last year off ebay for a little less than $30 shipped. Some day I'll pick up some short silver cones for them. Keep your eyes on ebay and you'll find some...

I paid too much for mine, but then again in the scope of the entire project is wasn't too bad.  I really like them on the CP and that was one thing that I really wanted to have on my machine.  Something about that clicking that I really like... 

I did manage to burn out the led's in each one and then went on to replace the led's with ones with known specs that have been running well since.
