[Boatanchors] [Milsurplus] URM25

[Paul Kraemer]

Yeah, and I do all that and more and just consider it repaired
I even developed a technique to rebuild the original dial lamps to not 
require any changes and they are brighter and better than changing a 
resistor and soldering in a bulb that illuminates from the side rather than 
the end as it needs to be.

I would suggest a re-read.

I did *NOT* say it *WAS* a KISS refurb.

I simply said it sounds like some of what they have done, yet *I* said
someone seems to have done this earlier.

The entire KISS refurbish of the AN/URM-25s went far beyond simple
piddling mods.

The entire power input was altered to remove the antiquated power
coils/capacitor input, and replaced it with an IERC input socket and filter.

There were numerous *other* parts removal and changes.  This included
rewiring the dial lamps and replacement with ones that are common place now.
