1UP and 2UP are standard buttons, normally available wherever you can find plain buttons.

Check out the buy/sell/trade section. divemaster sells stuff like this. Or outside the forum, try happ direct.

Pongo sells vinyl decal sheets with 1up decals etc as well as other sheets. He also does custom work. |This| (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=64645.0) is his thead.

Groovy Game Gear offers quite a few different pushbutton inserts for use with clear buttons. They can be found |here| (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=73&products_id=302)

My acidic fingers have quickly wiped out my decals, so the inserts sound like a good replacement.  What buttons to they go with though?  I didnt see any button on GGG that looked like it would use the insert?

I have mine in the clear fxbuttons that were made a few years ago. They are still availiable today from arcadeshop.de and a couple of other places too.

(link to buttons) (http://www.arcadeshop.de/Action-Buttons-Pushbutton-clear-white_493.html)

The button inserts decals are mounted onto the same material that GGG use for there button diffusers so If you are LED lighting your buttons the light is nicely diffused. I actually found that the diffusers with the decals actually work better than the plain diffusers. I think it is because the light is refracted from the back of the decal and lights the button bezel better.

Heres a photo of the inserts mounted in the clear buttons to give you an idea:

I use mine on the Electric Ice Buttons  (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=73&products_id=238) with an LEDwiz. Viewable only when they are turned on.

But they can also be used on the Novagems  (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=73&products_id=281) which even come in the clear with white light variety.
