Does anyone know where to procure the bulbs (globes) for the master key?
I ordered some 1.5v mini edison on got bulbs about 3 x the size. What should I be asking for?

Re: Key Light
If you're good with a soldering iron, I'd put an LED in there. I'm guessing maybe a 5mm would fit in there nicely, like this:

Re: Key Light
I'd do the LED conversion, if only I had one of those keys.

Re: Key Light
jps635, here's a linky on how to do the LED conversion

I'd like to do this myself, but unlike Dean, I actually have the key
Simply WAY too many projects on my plate right now, like cleaning her up for a car show tomorrow

Re: Key Light
Wild card here, but anyone know the source for the spring, or another application that has a similar one?
The key on the 1983 I am working on is missing the spring. I ordered another key thinking I could just swap the spring, but it was entirely different and didn't even have a spring in it.
