[sdiy] Encoder + LED ring

[Joe Grisso]

Hello All,

     I had the opportunity to dismantle my BCR2000 earlier when doing
a case mod, and yes, they did use discrete through-hole LEDs mounted
in a custom injection molded ring that mounts to the PCB with friction
pins. At least they're not heat staked. :-)

Best,
