Photo of the Dig Dug control panel

I wasn’t going to hold my breath, but Tim is an upstanding guy. He sent me photos today of the Dig Dug control panel. It looks good. The control panel overlay has some chips in it, but I have seen a ton worse. However, it does seem to be missing the little buttons for player one and two.

Unsure even what these were called, I did a lot of research online tonight. Come to find out, these are called “cone” buttons, and are actually very hard to come by. A pair of them run $24 on ebay and other places, which is way too expensive for my blood. Might as well just buy a complete control panel. I haven’t given Tim and answer yet, only told him that I was going to try to find out some more about these buttons and I would let him know.
