When building my Bottlehead kits (all 10 of them) I incorporated a power on LED that required drilling a ¼” hole in the top plate. Now building an EROS 2 and noticed a ¼” hole between the EF86’s that appears unused. It is 1 ¼” North of the ground lug. What is the purpose of this hole and is there any problem using it for an LED?

We left this hole in the layout to allow for the possibility of making a Tape Eros 2, which requires adding a switch.

Thanx, now I can save wear and tear on my drill bit.
