Good news and bad news...darn the luck...

Good news: The conversion to LED bulbs in the pointer worked extremely well. The pointer is now white at all times except when an FM Stereo station is tuned in, at which time it turns red.

Bad news: I did rig up a set of diodes to form a protection circuit, and installed them in the receiver. The neat feature of touching the tuning knob to make AFC and Auto Magic go out still worked when the unit was on the workbench, not in its wood case. However, after I buttoned it all up and brought it upstairs, it had stopped working... Icon_sad

I should have left well enough alone.

I'm not going to revisit it right away. I've spent enough time on this unit for now, I think.
