I'm trying to gather buttons to restore a CP for my MB WB.

They sort of look similar to the long buttons I got for my Defender from Lizard Lick. Would short buttons be "close enough" to fitting in the Metal CP for a Nintendo MB.

My orange jump buttons are much lower than the blue start ones. Is this correct? Or should they all match? What a good source for the correct original style buttons. I want something that looks new if I am going to put a new CPO on there. Maybe I can get away with "close enough"

MikesArcade has them but are they the original ones? Would Wico short buttons work?

Thanks!

I believe those Nintendo control panels have 1-1/16" holes while most control panels/buttons use 1-1/8" hole widths (so "standard" buttons won't fit on a Nintendo control panel).

I also noticed that the blue start buttons on my Mario Bros. are higher (though my jump buttons are not original). It looks like MikesArcade.com has the right size orange jump buttons but the blue ones don't look like the right blue for the start buttons, do they?
 
I bought my push buttons from Bob Roberts. They aren't exactly like the original buttons, but as long as they fit in the control panel, they work, and they are relatively the right color, I'm happy.
