Hi Bob,

those LEDs are a great find. If you're concerned about the bluish colour, you could perhaps try some transparent paint. Craft and hobby shops usually sell this stuff designed for glass to achieve the fake leadlight look.

Too much paint and the thing will go yellow, but a few carefully and evenly placed stripes on the LED with an artists brush should do the trick, especially if there is a light diffuser in front. If not, you could always paint the back of the channel selector knob with a frosted paint, but I'm sure there are better options.

That should give you that nice, warm look.

Cheers,

Adam
