Control Panel

I cleaned the control panel with a Brill-o pad. I took some advice on this method before trying it. I was assured it would not destroy the overlay, but would remove all the dirt efficiently. I tagged and removed all the buttons so I can remember where to replace them after cleaning.

The Brill-O worked great. I dried the control panel immediately after cleaning and set it in the sun to completely dry out. I hope to avoid rust this way.

I cleaned the buttons with a kitchen sponge (Scrunge, you know rough on one side for the tough dirt) with out submerging them. They came out fair. The red ones that get banged hard in this game could be in better shape. I should probably replace them, but they have a shroud (the ring around the button is raised at the top) on the top side and I have not found replacement buttons with this design.
