Moog Music Forum

Can you, MC, or anybody else tell me how I can destine the proper brightness of the LEDs I'm intending to buy as it's obviously not possible to divert the "candelar" or "lux" from the other power-values.
What do the originals have ? There's anything written in the schematics............

I use Vishay brand LED's that I highly recommend, I use these in all my polymoog restorations and like them because they are smaller than the originals and you do not have to worry about them damaging the interface panel like the originals would. These run great with the original resistor values in place as well. The life of these LED's seem to be great as well, I use my personal polymoog everyday and I have been running it for 4 years now without any burning out.

The part # is TLUO2401

They are available at mouser as well..here is a direct link:

Thank you so much, synthpro
I'm just now about to order 50 of the following from digikey: LUMEX 67 - 1088 - ND 5 mCandela
My tech and I came to the conclusion that 5mCandela would come close to the originals as they're pretty dark.

As I've seen now that those you have in your Poly have also 4-5 mCandela. Is this brightness o.k. ?

But I've neve heared of that the originals could damage the interface ?????? Also never happened to mine ?
