jwickis: thats a good idea...leave the buttons alone, and install something to shine out from behind them, to outline 'em.

That indiglo stuff used in night-lights and Timex watches (etc.) -- I wonder what the properties of that stuff is. I wonder if you can cut it into interesting shapes (say, an outline of the empeg buttons) and still power it...

You could buy two of those inexpensive night-lights that use the material and experiment...in fact, Costco has those on sale, so you could afford to mangle quite a few.
