[R-390] Dial Lamps

Hi,

The LED's work and they aren't all that expensive these days. Digikey has
some *very* bright ones for a couple of bucks each. Compared to say a R-1051
there's a lot of room in a R-390A to mount a couple of them and a dropping
resistor.

The main issue is the same one we keep chasing all over the place here. They
are DC parts so you have the possibility of RFI when you put them in.
Running two back to back still gives you a non linear load. Anything non
linear and you get crud.

    Take Care!

few years ago about this.  Rather expensive I think, but cool.
