Try UV LEDS / Meters With Orange Needles

Experimented with this the other day and it's pretty darn cool.

Many lighted or light-able meters have orange needles. Examples here are Dosy meter and meter in the Texas Star amp. These needles will LIGHT UP BRIGHT if you hit them with UV light. Think of hitting day glow orange paint with a black light.

UV LEDs will give the meter a nice warm dark purple glow and the needle will light up as if it were internally electrified.

Can get the UV's on ebay or I have a supply here if anybody needs a few.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
