Radio Shack LX5 Project

Currently, I am modifying a pair of Radio Shack LX5s which I bought for $150.  I spent an additional $60 on the modifications (for the pair).

• First impressions
• The modification
• After the modification (under construction)

Larry Van Wormer was kind enough to document and share his experiences modifying the LX5s.  Unlike myself, Larry has some real measurement equipment.  With his permission, I have posted his findings.  Say tuned for his final write-up which will include graphs.
