[Elecraft] K1 LCD BaCKLIGHT

[Louandzip]

 I did a backlight on my K1 ~20 years ago that worked out well. The key was getting a transreflective LCD panel so the light would show through. The original panel was opaque.  Here's a couple of pix:

 Ken,

The K1 LCD backlight is no longer possible.  The original used half of 
the K2 backlight strip which is no longer available and the new K2 strip 
is too thick to fit under the K1 LCD.
