The speed control indicator no longer lights.
Is there anything easily replaceable?
Does the mirror I found when I opened the base have anything to do
with it?
To use a disc on the spindle, do I need a fluorescent light or is any
60HZ electric light okay
I can't find my General Radio Strobotach:-)
**I've done a few of these with LEDs. The original neon was a big
(expensive) sucker. MUCH larger than NE-2 and other types. If you can find a
friend with some electronic nouse, ask them to wire up some nice, bright
LEDs (blue ones look way cool) in place of the neon. The result will be a
long lasting, bright and clear speed indicator. Naturally, you need to drive
the LED with mains frequency. This is not difficult stuff.
