So with all the renewed interest in Missile Command control panels etc. I hoping to get some definetiive answers to the below questions:

1. What s the correct hardware for the the control panel where it attaches at the hinge (3 bolts) and that secures it on top (2 bolts, wingnuts?) Manual shows wingnuts description doesn't say washers? how many where? lock flat etc

2. I also need to figure out correct hardware for the monitor. All I can tell for sure is a flat washer on the bottom as this is a small indent from one on the wood on mine.

My Missile Command was totally missing the monitor and all hrdware when I got it and and random hardware on the CP on as it was all joystick'd up with a million zillion holes.

Any definitive word on whats correct would be great -- The manual is not that good on misc hardware -- so I think a poll of a few folks should bring out what the answer is.

Other folks may also want to know when they install their minty new CP's as well. Yes its kinda anal -- But I bet more than me want the exact right stuff.

3 bolts hinge

Thanks -- Nice and very detailed!

I think if thats the consensus for the 3 hinge bolts were set on that piece of the puzzle. Everyone elses match?

Still need the top 2 bolts that secure the control Panel and the monitor hardware. Anyone?
 
You can use the same bolts for the top coupled with a fender washer and a wing nut. The four dolts that hold the monitor in place are also the same and if you really want to be anal, they should be just raw steel not black.

If you want to be extra anal, none of these bolts should have any kind of a grade stamp on them.

bolts

So aren 't the top 2 bolts longer? and any specs on the washers.

Looking for more details on the other areas -- I guess no one cares but me....
 
?

So all this mistaken identity stuff at least has given me some bumps -- but no answers

So what does everyone have holding down their CP?

the top 2 bolts: black? chrome?

longer than the other 3 bolts that attach the CP to the cabinet or same size?

1 flat washer? wingnut? lockwasher?
