Yamaha MX1000 decked with all LEDs

[hadrian333]

I recently revamped my (3) Yamaha MX1000 with all LEDs. Each one takes (7) Ebay #190649138195 15V BIPIN LEDs. No resistors necessary. Just solder them in place of the old incandescent lamps.



To replace them, take the front panel off and remove the display assembly.



The whole job took less than an hour. Easy Peasy! Cheers!

Awesome!! :thmbsp:

did you do a comparison test in terms of brightness? Is it brighter, similar, can you tell the difference?

I just re-lamped one amp with regular bulbs, but LED's would sure be an improvement (if they are not too bright).

only one LED left...

The LED is a bit brighter and more pinkish in color than the original dark red. Now, the front panel doesn't even get hot after it's on all day.

Very nice, thanks for the photos.

I couldn't help but notice...947.4 watts on the indicator!

I was setting the meter calibration into 2 ohm load

Dynamic power... I assume he had no load..
One way to show the entire array of the lcd without killing any speakers and / or breaking any windows...

Thanks again for the photos.

The no-heat result alone is worth the upgrade. How about some liquid tape on those terminals (for the LED's)

Where did you get the LEDs? Any particular part number to buy?

I used the 15V bipin LED Ebay item #190649138195. They are AC/DC so it has no polarity so it's idiot proof to install these as long as you know how to solder. Cheers!
