Hey all, so I thought I would post a few after pics of a Kenwood Model 600 rebuild I did. The customer said they think it would be cool if I could incorporate a blue led somewhere. After shaking my head in disbelief, I wanted to do my best to make it look classy.
The original lamp has an amber glow to it and I found that they got the color from using a white translucent diffuser and put a drop of amber glue on the tip of it right in front of the bulb. I scraped the glue off, built a small rectifier circuit using a capacitor and diode as the original lamp was powered with ac, and it doesn't look half bad. You'll notice the face is a little scratched up, bummer. Let me know your thoughts.
