If you want to replace your attenuators with LEDs, it's easy. I used Dialight P/N 609-1122-120F. This is a 6 VDC module, that fits the standard 3/8" hole. At first they seem slightly undersized for 3/8", but they include a O-ring that fills the gap. Perhaps this is to prevent dust intrusion.
Other voltages, 2 designs, 2 finishes, are available in this series. Just look up the data sheet.
I used the 6 VDC, ran them off the WOAD Cylon meters Phoenix Contacts connecters that offer +15 VDC at #4, and ground at #5. With a 1 K ohm resistor they draw 9.5 mA.
Make sure you recalibrate your Cylons afterwards. The amps input impedance has now changed for the better, and they'll need adjustment.
Oh, you'd think because they're made of brass in Japan they'd be a top quality product. Not quite. They didn't do a good job of gluing the LED base into the brass barrel. Have some super glue on hand to fix them.
