Which cones for Lunar Lander ?

You're going to get a lot of different answers on this one, but the machine I had came with short anodized aluminum ones, it was untouched and had numbers matching boards throughout and almost zero wear on the control panel. That's the original painted art, not an overlay:

Here's a close up of my control panel:

Here's a link to my photobucket with more pictures of the game:

Wow that looks great !! Yeah from the flyers I'd say it was low one's as well.

I think it would make sense that Atari chose low ones for play controls where high ones can be used for P1 P2 buttons...I'm sure MC has low one's too ( at least my Irish MC cabaret had them )

Was the thruster handle like that when you got it too ? I mean black handle and metal supports...

Thanks Mike !!

Yes, that handle is original. All I did was disassemble it and thoroughly clean it, the metal on the handle was in amazing shape and only needed a little hand polishing with some Turtle Wax Chrome Polish.

I lubricated the pivot point with some food grade white lithium grease and it works like a champ.
