My 4-Line did the same (meters are less blue). I had pretty good results with my quick-fix. I just painted the pilot light with a blue-green Sharpie. I also use the Red Sharpie on the dial adjust red dot. Makes it like brand new. 73, Gary WB6OGD

Here are my unedited 7/15/2012 notes concerning lighting differences: "The illumination color is different for the panel frequency dials on the right (bluish-white) and the receive signal strength & transmitter plate current meters on the left (warm-white). Turns out that the blue-green gel between the pilot lamp and the meters has faded to clear in the center. I have no idea where to get replacement gel material. (Perhaps a theater lighting supplier?) [Unit would probably appear a bit better if both gels were replaced with a matching close color gel.]" I believe this has been caused by the closer proximity of the gel to the pilot lamp on the S-meter assembly.
