    On the Elektra, I'm seeing a 10 ohm 1/2 watt resistor going from the 6 volt power buss directly to the side of the lamp socket that connects to the lamp driver board, for each and every lamp socket that has an LED? Am i correct on this? Do you need to do it for all LED'ed lamp sockets? Because I've found that lamp drivers that use the larger SCR can utilize one LED and one 555/47 without needing a resistor on either lamp socket...
