I scored a pair of Denon POA 1500 amplifiers today from a guy. Both have the black front, rosewood side panels. I've removed the panels to refinish them, and will install the LEDs tomorrow. This is a picture of one of the amps, but with half the meter bulbs burned out. Both amps work, though - performance and power-wise.

Finished the incandescent to LED upgrade on the first Denon POA 1500. On the left, you'll see the old incandescent lights. On the right, are with the new, LEDs strip lights installed for the meters and a single LED for the "Denon" logo where a single incandescent was present, but burned out.

My restored McIntosh MC-7270 with LED lighting and an extra layer of blue gel film on the meters.

The current owner doesn't know who destroyed that 1970 911S. She has a youtube chnneal (like everyone else on Earth) and is restoring the car.
