Added another game to my collection today... a nice Missile Command, and my first cocktail cabinet. It's a fully working machine too, which is good since I have enough projects already. Overall it's in decent shape - cab is solid, looks good, interior is clean, no hacked up wiring, etc. I would like to repaint the legs eventually, and probably recap the monitor but I can live with it for now. I didn't play this game in the arcade much as a kid, but now it's one of my faves.

One minor thing I do want to fix right away are the mismatched buttons on the control panel. One of the original black buttons was replaced with a red one (see pic #2), and on the 2p side one of the buttons has a silver cone. Where is the best place to buy replacement Atari 'volcano' style buttons/cones for this?

Here's a couple quick pics...

I picked one up a few weeks ago. Its in really good shape except for one side where the sides meet the front and back is pulling loose a bit. Just need to reinforce it a bit.

I don't know if it's the best place (my MC cocktail has the originals still), but RAM Controls makes the parts you are looking for:

http://www.ram-controls.com/order-cones.html

They also have the buttons on that page.
 
Thanks for the input, guys. I was kinda surprised at the scarcity (and price) of those buttons. I'm ordering them anyways though.. gotta calm the OCD!

So how soon do you plan on going for the record? :D

Ha ha, not anytime soon. Especially after watching Mr. Carlton the other night, it reminded me how terrible I am at this game. :)
