Spaceman graphics and led's

Post by jrfox92 »

Ever since I saw pictures for the Atlas III I've been really curious about where to get the LED and bezel they use and how they do the vintage radio gear-esque sticker/vinyl graphics.
Any thoughts?

These are the closest LED bezels that I've seen in my couple of hours of searching the web thus far.

I seem to recall the faceplate being engraved plastic, the sort you see on door signs & utility plaques.

I think I liked it better when they were using jewel lights instead of LEDs (if they're not still using jewel lights or something). :idk:

Maybe they only used the jewel lights on some of their pedals?

Not sure I can help with any info on the graphic. They aren't engraved.

The New lights are interesting as you can dial in the brightness. That's what that larger bezel is for.

I really liked the first version of dimable aviation panel lamps that they put out;

I finally tracked them down to a surplus electronics shop in the States. I bought everything they had. I use them on "special" projects.

You can find vintage ones on eBay for not a ton of money. You gotta stuff an LED into them though

I was going to say: In the pic above; are they using actual lamps or just an LED inside the jewel. I did the latter recently for a build.

Those adjustable lamps are really cool, but a little pricey.
