    If you are not tactical, simply put white bulbs in the control panel sockets. You can see better and when we used only white lights in the 70's, it was an easy way to see where the set was when running. We simply left them on.

    There was no change. The military spec's call for a gauge. Nothing more, for the generators. The gages came from several different manufactures. Some of the manufactures also produced gages for other things, that had a need, (also a requirement) for a light. The military is big on...
