The supply to the bulbs on the meter board measures 5.7V to ground, with batteries as power source. I've replaced both bulbs with white LEDs, though only one had failed. They are a little less bright than I would like however. Perhaps there is a resistor downstream that might be possible to swap out?
Today has been one of trying to get a reliable feed using the 12v Auto socket and 12v psu. To cut a long story short, all the connections and tracks on the board are ok, but the supply is intermittent and seems to be a problem with the safety cutout on the din socket itself, which cuts off the C cells. As I've no intention to use C cells or a battery pack, is there a way to bypass this feature to make a permanent contact for the 12v supply whilst still using the 8pin din plug, which is a Deltron quality item btw.
