Well, just how many "all is well!" lamps do you need on one panel? :-)
The "bad news" lights are what make these panels so useful...

Well, I have one that _works_, but yeah my other one is dead (haven't gotten
around to debugging it) and even the good one isn't hooked up right now,
I needed the space for something else. I really should set it up though,
I've promised several people that I would eventually read tapes for them and
it's been way too long. FWIW I ran a TC08/TU56 for a few years and apart
from periodically reseating the boards in the TC08 (which in my case seemed
to be held in only by buoyancy in the earth's atmosphere, I don't know if
I was missing the hold-down bracket or if there honestly isn't one in the
TC08), it gave me no trouble at all.
