ALBA game watch - missing buttons

Post07 Apr 2017, 06:48

After looking for a while, I've now got an ALBA Y761 game watch (yay)

But unfortunately it's missing 3 of the 4 buttons (boo)

Does anyone have any spares of these, or know of a source for them or something similar that would work? The button part is there, just not the plastic caps.

Thanks!

I would be searching ebay for similar era Alba watches that may share the same buttons.

I think you're right — that's the best way of finding replacement buttons. So far I've yet to see the same ones on any other model other than the Y760 (another game watch) and haven't seen a broken or parts one for ages. There's another model that has similar buttons but they sit closer to the corners of the case so are curved round.

Will keep looking :)
