[GreenKeys] new use for old 'puter scanner; model 15

[Steve]

My old HP all-in-one printer/scanner finally gave up the ghost a while
back. I often pull useful parts from old electronics. In this case there was a
long, thin flourescent lamp that was used to illuminate items to be scanned.
As it turns out this fits nicely just under the lower lip of the metal glass frame of my model 15.
By using longer screws at the bottom of the glass side frames I was able to make an aluminum
frame and mount the lamp. The associated 12v to HV supply was mounted
inside the case. Really lights up the printed copy! Nice addition for those
of us that like to run our radios and equipment in the dark.
