so, do the start button lights stay lit all the time while the game is on or do they go out once the game is started like in ice cold beer? just trying to figure out how i need to set it up with my jrok multi williams.
 
good enough. thanks dave. that's probably why i've never seen one with the buttons lit up. - they're burnt out.

Some Wiliams games had solid buttons that don't light up.

Otherwise, just open the CP and replace the bulbs...
 
My Bubbles cabaret has translucent buttons like the others, but they're not backlit.
 
Also remember that the dark blue leaf switch buttons can be difficult to light effectively. You may not be able to tell they are lit with a single incandescent bulb if the room isn't really dark. I've had some luck with 1/2 watt LEDs and have kits for the dark blue and green buttons here:

Is there a list of which games have the light-up buttons and which do not?

There should be. Maybe we should start one in this thread.

I'll go with what I know, and then others can fill in...

I would really like a pair of those for a Robotron restoration that is getting close to completion. Could you give me a price to ship a pair of those to the UK?

Just add them to your cart and choose the shipping destination. It should tell you.
