They are non polarized, they can go in either way.I assume these LEDs are polarity insensitive?

???What????
LED..... Light Emitting Diode. Diode blocks DC will pass AC voltages.
Long leg positive.....https://www.westfloridacomponents.c...w-to-tell-which-lead-is-positive-or-negative/

So the assemblies are more complex than just a simple LED? The ones that go into the fuse type holders are obviously more complex. I am talking about all the 8V lamps that "look" like a simple LED in a base.The stereo lamp circuit is DC. And the stereo lamps are in series, regardless of the schematic. The rest of the lamps are on an AC circuit straight off the transformer.
The LED lamp assemblies that you have will work inserted either direction on both AC and DC circuits.
Also, will the old vellum adhesive on the plastic lens soften if soaked overnight in soapy water?
With a LED you need to have the current/voltage right. I have used them mot=re then a few times to replace stereo indicators.
Just need to do more then place one in. A resistor maybe a diode depending on flicker.
Guessing 150ohm.....

Here's what one widely sold modern bi-pin LED lamp assembly looks like naked. You can see the resistor is hand-soldered in place and forms one leg of the lamp assembly. The complete assembly installs without any additional components needed. The manufacturer refers to these as "AC" and they are not polarity sensitive.

Great documentation! I have a good working 2230 with a new light kit waiting to be installed. What are you using for your new vellum paper? Did it come with your kit?Also, will the old vellum adhesive on the plastic lens soften if soaked overnight in soapy water?
