MPC-2500 a hard to read front panel (not display)

Some what new 2500 user, and I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to post this but with so many mods available, has there ever been one to help with the hard to read lettering?

I’m talking about the red lettering, secondary pad functions such as load, save, program, record, etc.

It’s damn near impossible to read even with light on! I haven’t got to the point yet where I have every pad function memorized. I’m sure that will help, just not there yet.

Any ideas or overlays available? My 42 year old eyes are failing me!

Thanks.

Maybe a faceplate will might help you out. Another lettering colour on another surface colour can make a difference.
