Next week, I am receiving a NAD 502 CD player - it's free. Supposed to play fine, be in good shape outside and has the remote. Only issue is dead bulbs in the display. I had a 513 changer for a few years a while back with the same problem. The 513 had a single bulb and Although I cant remember specifics, what I used needed higher voltage than what was present so it was dim. The display was readable but only close up.
According to the 502 SM, there is 15 volts feeding two 16 volt 3mm bulbs. Since I have not yet found any such animal locally or online, substituting LED's seem like a good idea.
All I know is that the LED's I can get my hands on easily will be 3.5mm 12 volt.
As mentioned, the supply is 15 volts so what do I do or need to know to calculate the value of the resistors I'm going to need if the LED's are 12 volt?
