OK,
I got radical. I fashioned a strip made from a old ruler, painted it to
match the meters' trim, mounted two # 47 sockets on its underside and
attached it just at the bottom FRONT of the meters using spacers and velcro
fasteners. Now the meters are front lighted like in the old days (Millen
used to make such meter front panel brackets for this very purpose). The
lamps are powered externally by a small transformer. Sweet comfort. No
dreading the day when lamps need replacing.
