Instead of stuffing those old ecaps as Anders has done, it is possible to make a small pcb to fit some new ecaps.
I used higher colour temp white LEDs in the G-7500, just because I have a bag of them.

Talking of golden glow, is there a way of dimming the brightness of the LEDs in the G7700? nice colour , just a tad brightInteresting you say that, I was just thinking the same thing, make up a nice board to mount somewhere and just leave those originals where they are, I think its possible, there is room in the G9000...
Or I was thinking of just ditching those oval caps all together and fitting some Nichicon Gold tunes in there....
I like the golden glow, its just a personal thing, mood lighting, I have lamps for lighting in my house, nothing too bright...
Could try a dropping resistor, but the best way would be a regulator, cold possibly mount something on a perf board....use a trimmer to get it just right....Hmmm, let me think about it..Talking of golden glow, is there a way of dimming the brightness of the LEDs in the G7700? nice colour , just a tad bright

I agree, it just doesn't look right......I like the original look. I used to dislike the whole idea of LED's a few years ago, but the technology has progressed quite a lot over that time and now its just plug and play, no modification necessary...I have seen some pretty ugly conversions using standard LED's.....I've been through a number of iterations with LED lighting in a couple of 9090DBs and an 8080DB. Warm white every time; much closer to original just a bit more vivid. Cool white is too harsh/bright.
Well, I haven't got it back yet, I have to sell some stuff to obtain the funds, but its in process.....I can't wait!!Oh man... you make me want a g22000.... so so hard! -impossible in my country- ... congrats in getting yours back... I have a slight chance on a pioneer sx1980, and maybe you guys will ban me from the forum jeje, but I still prefer my sx-1250 over my g8000 (both fully restored).... but don’t worry, the big G also receives lots of love!…
But always wondered about the g22000....
