Regarding the CP: How can I recreate the original painted on artwork? I read another thread where Darin at PA was talking about stencils for this, but I can't find them on his site.

Atari Cone Buttons: Where can I buy these? Mine are working, but they look like they experienced some heat at one point, and the covers are melted.

EPROM(and possibly CPU) sockets: Where can I buy these? I believe mine to be bad and want to replace them.

Thanks!
 
I posted in that interest thread. I will totally buy one of those.

I can't find any place selling the sockets, and the cone buttons are currently out of stock. I'll keep checking that site to see if they get more though.

Thanks guys!

Always send a email to vendors. You never know, you might get lucky and they might have spare parts kicking around.
 
Wondering why you aren't just grabbing them from mouser, digikey, or even ebay? Unless I am missing something, they are not too difficult to find. I am all for grabbing them from the arcade vendors to help support the arcade business, but if they are out, there are plenty of vendors to get them from.

This is an extreme cheap example from China...20 for a few bucks. There may be an argument to buy something of a little better quality...or maybe these are just as good. :)

example from ebay
 
Thanks guys. The google searches that I was using were not pulling up anything good, but I guess I was just using the wrong terms
