So what's the general consensus about what's in those V2 MPP clamp ... a bubblestrip, a flipped bubblestrip or perhaps as member belloq pointed out to me a strip of red leds :

Well, it's pretty convincing. It even appears to hang off either edge like the photo, as that card and the seven LED modules would be a bit longer than the MPP clamp it's inserted into.
I can do a new card design for sure, I just don't know how I'd source those LED modules, or replicate them.

That sounds great.
Maybe it don't need to be real LEDs. Maybe very thin acrylic glass or some foil in the right color could just look right?

Belloq, it's a good start, I have a few circuitboards I need to work on this week (non clamp card related) I might as well add this to the stack.
Would this layout work as the back of the other one I did? So you could flip them? or a standalone card?
I also found some of these:
And ordered them. They are the proper size and lead count, but have a bubble-top instead of flat. I'll use them to size my board.

Before this becomes another Interest thread . . . I'd like to know what the consensus is . . . are the red raised leds what most folks agree upon what we see inbetween those MPP clamp teeth?
Perhaps teecrooz can provide us also with a accurate 3/4 sideshot of the red raised leds ... because this is not such a simple design as the previous green board was ... here's what I mean by example of another TI-board, not Exactra 20 based, ... yet the red bubble leds are raised by their leads ... like so :

If i would have to guess from the one pic, i would say it´s the red leds on board.
But to replicate it accurate looks not as easy as the other boards. Yet i´m interested.

Thanks Luke the Belter ... what bubblestrip came with it? All round or flattened edges?

Double click and it turns upright ... and boy does that MPP V2 look quite compelling all of a sudden ... so ... the next question (perhaps for a seperate thread?) is . . . whatever happened to the accompanying bubblestrip back in 1976 where did that go? OB1? Luke ANH? Stuntsabers? :wacko

Those red bubble led's look close slothfurnace, though I think accurate measurements should still be taken from an original. Perhaps someone can post a "zoomed in from afar" shot of it next to a ruler, or better yet, loan one to slothfurnace for a bit. I am digging this.
