Replacing the CPO on this. While I'm at it I am curious what are the colors for the buttons? Going to replace with all new as well. But I've seen several odd combinations.
 
I believe the original colors were orange for the jump buttons and blue for the player select buttons.

When Mike gets his production in full swing (he's reproducing all nine Nintendo colors) I'm going with Crimson Red for the P1/P2, Blue for Jump 1, and Green for Jump 2. Seen a few MB kits with them that way and it looked nice.

The flyer shows the 2 blue, 2 orange like mentioned earlier.

Mike does produce the nintendo buttons at the moment he's really re-vamping them so they feel better. They'll have a better top to them closer to the originals. I have the ones he's selling currently and they fit fine but do not feel right. They're alright though.
 
Ah I see them. Out of stock. Rats. Thanks for the feedback. Mine were all a hodgepodge. One of them, the Luigi Jump button is a standard - not a nintendo. What a mess.

i have a Mario WB i picked up last spring with random buttons (at least they are all Nintendo) and i was trying to figure out the same thing.

wasn't there a kickstarter to produce them as well, or is that through Mike's?
 
My conversion is dark blue with orange jump buttons, but my wide body had dark red player 1/2 buttons. All were nintendo, and looked good. I agree with others, the Mikes buttons are good quality and feel, but don't look or feel exactly like old nintendo.
 
Right, currently we have WICO style replacement buttons, they fit and work. But in the coming few weeks I should have reproductions ready to go out. I'll have a real limited supply of each color in the first run.
