Great! Thanks again John and Rich!
Any more tips on getting this button off is most welcome!
Heat them with a hair dryer. The glue used to hold the buttons and the gold plate on the switch box is a type of hot melt glue. I use a small precision screwdriver to pry the buttons off with....the large gold one can be a pain to do without damaging the plastic bezel it is attached to, so I try to only pry on it in one spot.
