That said, homemade backlights never look anywhere near as good as those you would find on Kitsch, ASM, or anyone else who sells them. Here's a tutorial from forever ago of how to make your own backlight out of a CD jewel case and some other stuff: http://www.der-warst.de/warstware/backlight.html

Just before sending the order oversea for cartridge and stuff, i'd like to check if I can maybe find some components for free at work.

don't have the device here in hands right now, could someone very kind and patient give me the actual backlight dimmensions ? (metric system is welcome)

thanks...
