Title: Is it cheaper to get new buttons or just legends? Post by: reho33 on April 22, 2011, 09:27:46 PM I need new legends for my S2000 buttons, they are yellow and bleach doesn't whiten them......so is it cheaper to just get the legends or the whole assembly?
Title: Re: Is it cheaper to get new buttons or just legends? Post by: Magicslots on April 22, 2011, 10:20:24 PM IMHO...new legends improve the looks a great deal :5- Provided your clear lens covers are not all
scratched and schmutzed up too much. First I went to leds, then new legends, then new caps. This was on my S+ buttons, but the same thing holds for S2K's as well. The suppliers here can probably set you up fairly reasonably on either. Legends only probably a bit cheaper. If you can get a good deal on all new buttons, etc, then go for it, and you have more spare parts to store :97- Title: Re: Is it cheaper to get new buttons or just legends?

Title: Re: Is it cheaper to get new buttons or just legends? Post by: Magicslots on April 22, 2011, 10:32:26 PM I tried bleach...hydrogen peroxide...several different soaps with mild abrasives on the backs only, and even scraping
the backs with a razor blade. Not enough improvement to make it worth the effort! :25- It seems that eventually the incandescent bulbs cook the plastic, and its yellowed forever.

Title: Re: Is it cheaper to get new buttons or just legends? Post by: aklarry on April 23, 2011, 06:56:48 PM Cheaper but probably not bettor. In my opinion and experience by the time a button cooks long enough to yellow the plastic housing is baked enough to be brittle and just a problem waiting to happen especially if your still running incandescent bulbs.
