Warren,
appreciate the help. all the buttons i replaced only had 2 contacts. every button that had more than one contact was still usable, but all these ones were toast. i couldnt even push them in, even when the back was replaced. very weird.
i think i have a book for the ustor somewhere, so i'll start reading it. do you happen to know what kind of battery that thing takes for the memory? it is missing completely.
Thanks alot!
Dan
EDIT: wow, i'm an idiot. the reason why they couldnt be pushed was because they were lights, not buttons! DOH!

The tan GE book has a very nice cross reference listing all of the pushbuttons on one page, along with the page they are shown in the book. It can help if a wire falls off.
As for the U-Stor, you definitely need a book to use it. I could have my intern scan one for you if you want to pay for his time.
You probably need to get to home in X and Z before it will accept an axis move. Offhand, I don't know how to bypass that.
Good Luck,
Warren
