[GreenKeys] Model 15 paper illumination

Some years ago now on my model 15 page printers I installed 2 bayonet 
#47 dial lights on each side of of the glass to illuminate the printout. 
The power came from a small 6 volt transformer I mounted on the frame 
near the motor.  The wires were routed away from the moving parts and 
detached using a inline 1/8 inch plug and jack when removing the case. I 
wonder if anyone else has done this with their machines or did teletype 
have a accessory kit for this purpose.  It added that extra ambiance to 
a dark radio shack to go along with radio dials and glowing tube filaments.

The machines are long gone but my memory was jogged in talking with 
another list member.
