I have a 1964 vintage Drake R4A which suffered from faded blue gel filters. I tried blue LED lamps as sold by a Stateside amateur. While they worked well and as advertised, the intense blue of the LEDs was very distracting... I eventually went back to filament lamps with a new set of gel filters. My PC has a blue LED that lights up the shack, again that colour isn't pleasing to my eye at least.
I guess what I am suggesting is that some of the modern blue LEDs can be awful to look at, while I like the older blue displays, I personally wouldn't expend any time or money changing the K2 illumination to blue. 73 Dave, G4AON K1, K2 and K3 owner ---------------------------- I would be interested in converting the display in my K-2 to the now popular blue display available in many radios, including the vintage Drake line as well as some of the modern transceivers. Anyone try this yet? Where did you find the parts? Many thanks, and I enjoy reading the helpful posts on the Reflector.
