Plans to fabricate Atari volcano buttons?

I am somewhat of a purist, but I wouldn't think twice about simply drilling out a panel for a bigger button to replace them. Its not like they add ANYTHING to gameplay, or anything else.

I'll have to disagree. Volcano buttons are unique to Atari games of the golden era, and most people haven't seen one since. They may not add anything to game play, but they definately add to the nostalgia of a cab that uses them. I though they were cool in the 80's, and I still do, to the point that I've repaired and refinished control panels so I could replace oversized buttons with volcanos.

JoyMonkey, Note how those cones are a different angle than the onces I sent you.
The black cones on my asteroids are the same 45 degrees as the silver cones I sent you. I remember the thread with the dimmensions had the 30 degree cone. It's all cherry switches to you will notice. So maybe several different sizes were used.

I'm really intrigued, since I used to work for them.

if you took the led out and added one of them led switches a few post back?
i don't know what the switch looks like so i don't know if these are close to what u want?
