Is a Wico button a suitable replacement for a Nintendo cab? It generally looks the same to me.

Sorry so many questions... I want to do this Mario right... it's in such sad shape.

Problem I ran into when populating my Super Mario Bros panel: certian look-alike buttons were just slightly larger than my hole. I also believe some of these were made to mount to a wood panel and some had plastic washers to fit the thin metal panels. At any rate, be a good idea to measure accuratley the hole that you have to ensure you order the right size button.
 
Standard buttons are 1 1/8" OD and Nintendo buttons are 1 1/16" OD. I have found that by slightly reaming the holes, the standard buttons fit and work great.
