leds in black buttons?
Brad Lee:
SOmething Ive been thinking about is along these lines...
Ive got a wood panel with lexan overlay. I was thinking of drilling thru the wood but not he lexan- say 1-1/8" same as a button and mounting the led or lamp in the middle of the hole.. Put a picture on your overlay that lines up with the hole below- as long as your overlay is translucent enough, it'd show "backlit" the first example that comes to mind is the dart player on an bar dartboard- Red for dont throw, green for throw

If you must have lights in your black buttons, you could drill a hole in the middle of the button, and then fill the hole with clear epoxy or something similar. There would be a clear dot in your black buttons when the machine was off, but the dots would glow when it was on.

Hey MinerAl that's not a bad idea! I'll think about it. Thanks.
