Still looking for these.

BTW, for those looking to try the backlights in the MGB- I intend to test the LEDx3 in my MGB soon, documentation will follow.

Great. The main issue is working around one of the main screw posts.  Drilling a hole right through the panel may actually be the best idea. It'll also help in keeping the panel in place.

No worries. Still excited to finally get some new buttons. Can't wait to try out the glow in the dark ones.

Kitsch...

Here's my tutorial on how to install the panels.

Differs slightly from Kitsch's tutorial, but it's the same general idea.

SPDT wink

DPDT is overkill for just on-on.

@Shriker: Just pull it apart, don't be scared, just pushed down in a central position. There are tiny clips that lock both sides together. I was scared to do it at first but it will come apart.

I've never opened a bleepbloop cart, but most cartridges require you to slide the two pieces apart. No pulling involved.

Is the bleepbloop cart different?

You should just skip the backlight switch all together, really.  It's rather pointless since the reflective foil is removed for the backlight.

im bidding on one right now, if i win it and have it shipped to you will you make a tut. for the world? id need it back though wink

Thanks for the offer, but I may have to leave the tutorial up to Kitsch. I'd like to make one just to help out Kitsch, but I can't go out of my way right now because my last two orders have me off purchasing anything for the next little while. It wouldn't aid me much since my profit from the panels is solely from my modification service. Shipping to and from Canada would be a bit steep.

I'll make one eventually if no one beats me to it.

Here's one I did. The huge knob was just for the video, it was replaced with a different one later.

You can fit a normal sized pot at the top, but you'll likely need to do some relocation.

double post

The resistor won't be a problem at all. I like to cut the anode wire in half and put it somewhere in the middle, then put the shrink tubing over it.

I can make a tutorial. I just need to get a GBP first...
