I've tried a ton of ways of actually covering a photocell to cover it, with kind of poor results. Electrical tape seems to still bleed through some light. This might be more trouble than it's worth, but some heat shrink over electrical tape might work. In the end, it could be simpler to desolder them.

Those photocells will be more like 5-10K for light resistance under most circumstances. It's low enough and in line with what I've heard of people measuring in vintage units. Like I said, if you want to fake a lower light resistance, you could always lower those 47K resistors.

Ok then, thank you for the advice, i'll try everything you said, and i'll post here again soon!
