Love the look in their wood cabinets.

So you actually got that blue even with the yellow vellum still in place? I've seen the LED's with new vellum and it's a little too much for me but I like the look of yours.

I have 3 "gold/engraved" 2270's. Right now all the normal bulbs are working and the dials are still blue. 2 of these came with original cabinets, on the 3rd I had a guy make me a repro cab and had him stain it a darker walnut figuring it would look nice with the darker gold face on these (it does). I'm thinking as soon as I lose a bulb I will do what you did again thinking of the contrast with the more golden face of these.

Here's a link to how different 2 2270's can look. These are not mine.
