On my Nintendo  Space Firebird the original green button for one of the sides was replaced at some point with this red one visible on the right.  Whilst it's not ugly, it's not correct and feels different.

Has anyone got a green button assembly in a bag of bits somewhere that you will part with and would ship to me in the UK?



Thanks

it's 18mm diameter Smiley


I've just found this and bought it, but I'd happily throw this piece of crap in the bin if there is an original going.  If you have the button I could probably rob the bracketry from this amazon one or the back of the red one that I have fitted now.

I'll always be on the hunt for the proper button.
