[Kenwood] TS-940 LCD didsplay blub

[John E Cleeve]

Looking at the subminiature filament lamps available from Circuitron 
you could try the 12v, cat no. 800-7431-02 which is 2.4mm diameter, with 
8inch leads and described as "extremely bright", (0.5w) they might be 
bright enough for the Kenwood 940 LCD backlight when run at 9v, it would 
be worth a trial. I wish Circuitron had a store over here to enable a 
quick experiment using a variable psu.....
