    icom 2410h display fix

    this is the early version of these rigs.
    in an effort to look slick icom went to a blackout multi color display in these rigs.but the lights would have to be on full and the tiny bulbs went out fast.
    these were new in the late 80's-early 90's.later rigs came with the more standard lcd with black on a light background.i got this one about 17 years ago and led modded it with the new at that time 1st gen nichia white led's.
    well running 24/7/365 in normal use wore them out.their best was barely adequate anyway.fast forward to today when i noticed the thing was barely readable.
    i have a bunch of 3mm nichia diffused white led's i got in a surplus parts lot.
    replaced them again.
    this time i had to set the dimmer on d-1 or it was obnoxious to look at!
    replaced some dried out caps in the voltage regulator section too.area runs hot enough that the blue rubycons were brown.
