Should I add P1/P2 leds? If so, where?
Blakey:
I have begun the long and painful task of wiring up my control panels now that the majority of the cabinet is built.
I keep forgetting that I have a pair of bezel leds (~9mm OD) that I meant to hook up to num/caps lock, to flash for the games that support it.
As far as I can see, the only place to mount them is to the left of P1start and to the right of P2start.
What's the general concensus? Yay/Nay?
RayB:
What about inside the buttons?
I saw a page with instructions on doing just that (assuming you have the typical white buttons--I doubt black would glow very much!)
I'm sure someone else will come along and know what page I'm talking about??

yeah, I saw that too... can't find the link for you, sorry
by the way... NICE control panels, did you make those yourself or get them made?

Probably this page:

I just used HAPP illumination buttons for mine. Better output. Although some people might like to have all the buttons the same. Credit buttons do nothing on the playing field so you won't be using them much.

that's a damn good point. the control panels look fantastic. How did you get them made up?
