Thanks a million, the command station users community rocks.

So, that takes care of the electronics.  Now I need to hunt down proper pads/button covers and a tech that can do the work.  I will report back and let you know how it's going.

For button covers, I am thinking a single sheet of clear molded silicone.  Or maybe a couple, one for each zone.  It would also seal it up a bit and help protect it from dust and liquids.
