hello, 

To owners of Roland Jupiter 8s, are your pushbuttons
to the left (assign mode) and right (patch number
11-88) of the LED a bright (super clean) white or an
off-white?

I have owned a few Jup-8s in my day and all the
buttons have been off-white except for one Jup-8 that
I bought from a fellow list-member tech. He claims
that they are original but I've never seen any as
white as his.

Now I'm the owner of a superbly kept Jup-8 but the
pushbuttons aren't as shiny as the other Jup-8 in
question. Yes its picky but I'd like to swap em out
for some that are as white as the keys to really make
this synth look sparkly. I mean they look super, just
not as sleek. Anyone have any sources?

Here is an example of an off-white one, though these
appear more greyish, but you get the idea:

Thanks!
