TU417/517/717 Lamp Replacement OEM style

Yeah, I don't have any issue getting the LEDs to fit. I'm trying to avoid the flicker. If there is no easy non-flickering LED solution I might have to get an incandescent, which sounds tough to find.

That link in your post doesn't work anymore, so I'm wondering if something like this would be a good substitute? Once you remove the wedge base and thread them into the old boots (I'm doing this on a Sansui TU-717), is it pretty much plug and play?

These are the same as what the OP described and what I used in my TU-717: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JNF9FRW/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

EDIT: Woops! I missed your link and see you're looking for LED's.

I tried that method a while back when working on Kenwood receiver and destroyed several of the bulbs in the process. So I gave up and used wedge-based lamps for that project. I tried it again last night and was able to get four bulbs and their wires, what little wire is left, but when I tried soldering what is literally one piece of hair to another with no luck, I gave up. I’ll probably end up going with LEDs.
