While I was re-belting my BA-50 changer head, I noticed that the LEDs to light up the faceplate were on the dime side. After so many years of being on, the LEDs just weren't as bright as they probably were back in the 80's.
So, I developed my own replacement board. It arrived today, so I plugged it in. REALLY happy with the results.
It uses 4 small green SMD LEDs, and they're a little TOO bright. If I were to do it over, I'd increase the resistance to dim them a little more. However, the rich green lights up the front faceplate nicely; I'm happy.
