no intention to hijack this thread but how much is it if you change out to LEDs and how long does it take to get it back?

Normally we offer a core swap program for our HVACs that is $195+ $9 shipping ($100 refunded when we receive yours back), but right now we are out of cores.
When you send us yours it's only $95+ $9 shipping.
The dim display is fixed with each LED upgrade so you won't have to worry about that in the future.
Typically we can get it modded in 1-2 days after we receive the unit depending on the orders we have at the time.

hmmm Maybe I shouldn't answer you I've been sodering for years. The hardest part is going to be removing the bulbs and cleaning out the through holes to insert the new ones. Get a solder sucker!
I would say two hours and three beers... Anyone else want in on this action?

I did this about a year ago and it couldn't be simpler...
You just need to touch a few solder joints as described. I bought a small battery powered soldering gun from radio shack $20. Worked great.
