[TenTec] Argosy (I)

Or you could just push the "DISPlay ON/off" button on the 525 Argosy II's 
front panel? That switch has a set of unused contacts which some use to 
switch the meter lamp on and off.

Just an additional note for those running an Argosy Digital.... I seem to 
remember if you turn the rig off and then on QUICKLY, the display lights 
stay off. Rig operates fine. Need them back on? Turn her off, and then turn 
on after a couple seconds. Quick, dirty trick to have up your sleeve, if you 
are ever short on power.

What if you guys replaced the incandescent lamps with LEDs ?
Would there be enough energy savings, and still enough light,
to have it all ?
-SNIPPED-
So, would LEDs save the day ? Is there a down side, like being
electrically noisy or something?
