The blue stage light gels I have here are extremely dark. They look black when the radio is off.

I've found out the 3 sheets if stuff that I bought a couple of years back.

There's a mid-blue, a dark blue and a purpley-blue (I was going to use this latter one on my purple Amstrad but I couldnt quite get the red LED's to look purple enough without dimming them too much for daytime use) :)

Hopefully you can see the difference between the 3 as the light in my loft isn't the best. They are transluscent but also adhesive-backed so the backing peels off to stick it in place on the back of the display plastic. If you think one/any of them might do the job I can post a piece big enough ;)

Can't think of anything I need other than a couple of meter bulbs to be honest so don't worry ;)
I'm not going down the LED route either ...yuk :)

Let me know the size (and your address details of course via PM) and I'll get a piece of each off to you on Saturday mate. You can see which works best then...if any. I'll add a bit size-wise just in case.

And don't let Buick know you're into trannies or he'll get the wrong idea for sure :)
