====== Delta II / Argonaut II Display Backlight ======
**From the Ten-Tec Reflector March 1, 2004**

Thought I would write the list because I asked the question where to find a display fix information on here for my Delta II and received many responses, some with good directions of where to buy the backlighting. I ended up getting two from ALL ELECTRONICS shipped from CA to PA for $18. Bought two thinking I may screw one up. It was a snap taking 15 minutes to install and now I have a spare. Also replaced the battery backup so now I have an as new Delta II to play with, it's a neat radio, neater than I imagined it would be!

Tnx for the help....Curt/k3ey

Not sure about the Delta II.... but a good source for luminesent back light material is Miller Engineering.

It's rated at 140 to 225 volts, 400 to 1600 Hz.  One 6 x 4 sheet of this film made two new backlights for my Harris RF-350K and cost $22.95.  Lower voltages just mean dimmer backlighting. I used a 115 volt source on the Harris for the original  backlight and it's perfect.  Fantastic stuff.....they sell a small power supply that will run them off AA or AAA batteries if you don't have a voltage source on the rig.... I'm sure you could tap it into the radio somewhere.  Works great for scanners etc too like the RS
Pro-2005/2006.
