One thing to be careful about is that modern LEDs are *much* more
effecient than old LEDs.
I recently replaced a LED on my IMSAI front panel. The new LED stuck
out like a sore thumb, it was insanely bright.
From memory, I replaced the resistor with about a 1k2.

Jay,
there are no issues with the LED's that I know of other than they do
have a load resistor in series with them, so they need no internal
dropping resistor to work across +5.
they have long leads as well, as there is a 1" (or there bouts)
stiffening board to keep the leads from shorting out, and to position
them in a line to poke thru the front panel. There are other
solutions to allow for long leads, but they just used a long circuit
board.

That is probably the way I'll go. Thanks (as always) Tony!!!
