You guys are great! Thanks for the warm welcome and all of the tips so far! I downloaded the schematic and those buttons and decals look like what need.

I suppose I got lucky with the condition of the console. There seems to be consensus about not stripping it, so this is a good starting place. I need to do some more reading about gojo and its trade offs with the min wax products...

Sorry for the noob questions, but how do I use new decals if the cabinet is not stripped? Do I just put them over top of the original lettering?
