Sorry I didn't get in on this thread earlier. Can the panels from a nite lite
be cut to fit in the space? I've never taken one apart. Gene did you
actually fix a D II display? I have a D II and my panel works but it would be
nice to have an alternative if it ever goes. Another thought is to insert a
piece of clear plastic and edge light it with one or two hi intensity LEDs.
Too bad we can't get a broken one to play with.
