<div class="">Since your buttons only protrude slightly from the bezel, Ted is likely
correct that they are Merlin replacements. Another clue is the directional
graphics. On the original Ampex, the arrows are solid. On the
Merlin, the arrow is an outline as you can see in the pic of the Merlin button
below. You can find the Merlin literature on our website here: <a title="http://www.digitrakcom.com/MERLINlit.html" href="http://www.digitrakcom.com/MERLINlit.html" class="">http://www.digitrakcom.com/MERLINlit.html</a>
The switch kit is ME-168.</div>
