I am in australia and have recently won an auction for an original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle arcade cabinet (4 Player).

I was just wondering what sort of buttons are the best, and how easy they are to replace. I dont have the cabinet yet and hope to have it by the end of the week. The reason I ask is that some buttons have been replaced over the years and I want to put the appropriate colour buttons on the machine again.

Blue, Yellow, Purple, Red.

So any advice 1. whats the best button to get, 2. what sort of button a TMNT machine would need, and how easy it is to install.

Thank you
 
I would simply replace w/standard pushbuttons w/horizontal microswitches like found on Happ, jammaboards, etc.

try happ, and search for "Pushbutton With Horizontal Microswitch"

option 3 (and many other options are the same).

Happ needs minimum of $25 for an order so you may want to try another site (there's tons of them)

**edit** they're incredibly simple to install
 
Chances are they are going to be like these: (link)

They are very easy to install. You need two of each color: blue, orange, purple and red (or if you want to match the original game, yellow instead of orange).

They should just slide through the holes, tighten the nut and attach the microswitch and the wires and you should be good to go.
