Cheers dude. That may help a little but you still need at least two if not four LEDs to evenly light a Jap button but you would still get some pretty harsh spotting.

I need to do some R&D but I think this method should turn out pretty nice, possibly even with one LED. Even if its more than one LED the results should be far superior than multiple LEDs in the standard fashion.

From gathering what I've read, the spotting seems a lot less of an issue with nontransparent buttons... after taking a good look at the (transparent) Seimitsu buttons I'll use as function buttons I don't see why I shouldn't be able to cram in LCDs below the plungers (where they don't get in the way). This way, less spotting & more of a "ring of light effect". We'll see how it works out, I'll pester you all with pics of my finished arcade machine anyway...
