Use whatever size you like. The onboard ones are ~1/8" in diameter.

Do you have to use the same color led?  Can I replace blue with green that I picked up from Radioshack?  I find the blue to be very bright

[steve k]

Yes. I replaced the yellow with red and the blue with green.

[shadowlight]

Yes. I replaced the yellow with red and the blue with green.

Glad we can do that.

[pumpkinman]

Yes. I replaced the yellow with red and the blue with green.

Stuff from Hong Kong showed up before the stuff from down south.  I have some spare rca that you can have.

I didn't do a round over DP after looking at your case online. A round over might interfere with the screw holes...............Bill

I ordered all my extras from the lower 48 thinking they would get here faster

[shadowlight]

That looks great and will be a great addition 

[steve k]

Yes. I replaced the yellow with red and the blue with green.

Hey Ed, send me a pm with your address and I will ship you out a couple of LED's already soldered up to some 6 inch leads.

[Nick77]

Yes. I replaced the yellow with red and the blue with green.

I found the blue to be more musical and transparent. hehe

Congrats oh King of Pumpkins. We'll be awaiting your review. In mean time, don't put the knives and forks in it by mistake! 
Nice job.

Next time the cases will built from the ground up as they say................Bill a.k.a. The Pumpkinking

I've been actively lurking, but this is exactly the type of project I was thinking of.  If you do, please take pics and post away.

BTW, are there any recommended mods on these boards which can be done by ordinary mortals?  Those cap swaps from DIYAudio look interesting, but daunting. . . .

Gitarretype made a good point earlier that as those caps are not directly in the signal path the gains made may not be worth the risk to the board. The 22uf input coupling caps however... hmmm

All in all though, these are not mod-friendly boards.
