Discolite speaker LED mod

[Retroresto]

I used 4 colored LEDS in the speakers. It came out great, finally a true blue speaker! The other colors are rich also!

I have extra sets with resistors in line already.

I'm still looking for a counter reset button, and one EQ slider cap.

If anyone has these I'll send you a free led kit.

That looks soooo great, I hate how the blue speaker never really shined true blue! Post a vid.

I am working on changing the speaker surround LED colors!

That definitely makes the DISCO-LITE look less cheesy & more modern. Nice mod!!!

I love what you did there!
Is your set plug-in ready? I hate opening the discolite...always afraid of breaking something on those cheaply built boxes

Wow, very nice.
I'd love to see a video too, to see if they decay like the incandescent globes.



Rock On.

Yes they do act the same "decay" only in my opinion they look much better. I finally have the box finished, and I have a video I will try to post it.

Definitely want to see how your turns out too. The new LEDs look pimp with the gold edges & original LEDs...

I also want to pull all the green LEDs around the speakers and replace them with blue. The red/green combo is just a little too much christmas for me.

I'm pretty sure the reason for the green yellow red combinations for the actual LEDs, NOT the bulbs for the speaker cones, is that they were SH!+3 at making blue LEDs & weren't brite enough back in the 70's, up to the late 80's.....changing out all the LEDs with super brite LEDs with today's tech would totally transform it.....

Kool vid!

 

[Retroresto]

I decided not to change all of the leds out in case I wanted to sell the unit down the road.
Like chris I had a few ideas to change up all of the colors.
I figured this is a simple easily reversed mod, in case a buyer cries about it down the road.

Great vid and now Im even more excited!
