butchered is more like it.
astron power supply.someone thought it was cool to drill in to the meter cases and glue led's in.lazy and stupid to drill tdc and slop on the krazyglue to the led.....right into the path of the needle!
yes the needle stuck.luckily i got it free without damage.
i should have took pics of the butchery but got too wrapped up in the repair.
so i will post the proper way to install led's in astron meters.
i used nichia 3mm diffused whites.
used 2 in series with 470ohm in series.connected to the 13.8v output.run about 15ma.will last forever.these meters have a white painted section over the movement.the led's are behind it pointing up.
