RadoVirgin 0 Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) Hi all I found this while researching the LED conversion i'm doing on all my switchgear. I'm in the process of attempting to make a replica for my VR6 and was wondering if there would be any interest on here. I'm either going to make a one off or I could potentially get the PCB's made so that people could solder on the LED's that they require. In order to contract out the PCB manufacture I would need at least 10 to be made. If i'm honest I have no idea how much it will cost yet but I know it'll be drastically less than the $170 that this gentleman is asking!!

Portent 0 Posted July 7, 2011 I wouldn't be interested in fancy colours. But I might be interested in a brighter standard green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Tom 0 Posted July 8, 2011 I would definitely be interested in a unit in the standard green colour too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neuon2003 0 Posted July 8, 2011 Yep, standard green for me too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dude VR6 0 Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) I'd be up for a green one to, with red/blue temp dial. Edited July 16, 2011 by Dude VR6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadoVirgin 0 Posted July 8, 2011 Yeah guys a green one shouldn't be a problem I'm going to try draw up a design for a pcb this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamie_300 0 Posted July 8, 2011 I would be up for the Red/Blue but if I'm the only one I don't mind going for Green :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted July 8, 2011 I'd really like standard green for the fan speed and direction, but the blue -> red on the centre dial! But would be happy with just a standard green on the whole panel. Definitely count me in for this one! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lesarcsneil 0 Posted July 8, 2011 I'd be interested in a bare PCB, Cheers, Neil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emu 0 Posted July 8, 2011 would you be able to make all the switches along with heater panel ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkFoster 0 Posted July 8, 2011 I'd be interested in the standard green too. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bendy 0 Posted July 8, 2011 i'd be up for a red lit one with the blue and red on the temp dial in the middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_G60_Fanatic 0 Posted July 8, 2011 This looks amazing!... makes me wish i had a late dash :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted July 8, 2011 if you have DDI dials fitted all you need to do is get some el sheeting, and cut it around the dials and then plug it into the invertor, obviousy removing all the standard lighting first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted July 8, 2011 This looks amazing!... makes me wish i had a late dash :( You should upgrade to a VR6 mate. They have the later dash :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadoVirgin 0 Posted July 8, 2011 We'll it looks like i'm going to have to have some made then and it'll be the end of next week before I can get a prototype made. Once that's done i'll get a quote to see how much the pcbs will cost each and put together a price for a complete PCB and anoher price for a blank. As far a doing the switches for other people, I'm planning to write a comprehensive article on how to tackle the colour changes but if people would still like me to carry the changes out for them then i'll look into it then but for now I'm going to concentrate on the PCB Production. I'd like to thank everyone for your feedback and i'll be in touch soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted July 8, 2011 I'd be interested too standard green for me, But wouldnt mind seeing what green on the outer two and red and blue on the centre one looks like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking as someone who is utterly useless with electronics, I'd really be keen in something thats just essentially just a plug and play swap / upgrade! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
