Thanks Kaytrim... They are Happ buttons from Divemaster. I drilled a small hole in the base of them and stuck the LED up inside. I used the colored LED's because I didn't want the buttons to be too bright. I actually was kind of unsure about using translucents w/LED's at all because I wanted to remain as true as possible to the "real" thing. I agonize over the dumbest crap. ;D
It is a cool look in the dark, so I'm glad I went with them.

Did you cover the CPO with plexi?

Hi Patrick, and thank you. Since its a repro overlay, its pretty thick vinyl with a glossy coating. I didn't use any covering since it feels pretty tough, and I'll always be within punching distance of anyone playing that thinks about vandalizing it. ;)

How much did the LEDs set you back? I like not worrying about resisters which is why I get mine from Randy.

Here is the speaker panel... I cut up some PC speakers, put them in the marquee base and drilled holes for the original covers. Also have the volume control sticking down through there.
This is the first time on any of my cabs that I've had the volume knob conveniently located. :D
Excuse the MDF dust all over... Where is the smiley of a guy coughing out a dust cloud? :dunno
