The lamp burned out and instead of replacing it with another blue/green
bulb I elected to use LEDs. I sanded the surface of the LED case to
make the light it generated non-directional. I used three blue ones
from Radio shack 276-316 in a line in place of the bulb and outside
the meter case I used a resistor to limit the current. It looks pretty
cool but very "blue." Now that I see the result I'm thinking that maybe
white LEDs like a 276-320 would have been better choice as even the
white LEDs look somewhat blueish to me.

Anyone have any experiences using LEDs to replace bulbs on receivers?

Right now I'm looking at the bluest meter on the west coast and the
moving red needle looks almost iridescent.
