Funny you should ask. I have the contrast at a comfortable level and there's plenty of travel left on the control. You only need to turn less than a 1/4 to get the right level.

The brightness, on the other hand, is almost full. There's not headroom in the control. The full rotation gets you just over where it should be. I back it down just a bit to get to the right level. I could have sworn it had much more range before I started my repair work.

Why are you asking? Is there something in the numbers?

Also, if the numbers look okay, does that mean the resistors are probably okay as well? I will do the diode on Wed. I'm running out of steam and don't feel like flipping her over at the moment.
