Royal Air Force fighter planes used UV visable instrument 
markings for night flying during WWII. If you shine a UV light on a 
Synthi or Putney, the knob pointer glow from the UV ink because 
they are military surplus knobs. The strange things your find out 
on tour.

The UV visable thing is a great idea. There was a DJ mixer for 
sale with UV visable ink. Can't remember the brand, Roland 
maybe.
