      I know what will brighten that up. Gasoline and a match! Just kidding. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with that.

          This turned out very well! I really like the color! Good work!
          What kind of UV light are you going to get?

                  Thanks, I need to get one of these GEs in my collection. Were these mechanisms found in any other brands?

                      I'm going to try an LED strip myself soon. I'm going to try to find a smaller converter that will fit in the clock. Did yours turn out ok Troy ?

                          It seems real promising. I've ordered some myself to put in a Copal 705L. It has the same bulb as the Panasonic RC-7462 (Panasonic Part Number NL80T8B).
                          Some of the LED strips claim a 30,000 hour life which is about 3 times as long as standard lighting.
