For one of my 8/e machines I did the led conversion since I didn't have
any bulbs
available. I didn't know where to get them either. Anyway, I used
different colors
for the EMA, MEMORY ADDRESS, AC/STATUS... and RUN indicators. I can
always switch them back but it does look kind of cool in amber, red,
green and blue.
