[Elecraft] K1 backlight kit

[Louandzip]

 If you can't find a kit:  I modded my K1 to illuminate the LCD back in '03, before the mod kit was available.  It's pretty easy to do (a white sticker, two leds, and a resistor) and works very well, but it does require a transreflective LCD in place of the original reflective one supplied back then. I tried the mod with original LCD and it didn't work  IDK if later ones came standard with the transreflective LCD.  If you have or can get a transreflective LCD, I'd be happy to describe the mod and email some photos that detail the mod and show the results.

 Good evening all,

I’m looking for a LCD backlight kit for the K1. I don’t see it listed on the Elecraft site anymore and am kicking myself for not picking one up sooner.

If anyone has a kit that is no longer needed, I would be interested. Please contact me off-list.
