Default EOS-1 screen spot circle

Hi,

I have a Canon EOS-1 I picked up used recently (first foray into AF).
It's working out great with a 50/1.4 prime lens and I'm very happy
with it, apart from one thing:

The AF sensor mark and the spot and partial metering circles on the
viewfinder screen are incredibly difficult to see. They're nearly
invisible unless viewing a very strongly lit, totally out of focus
scene. I do bit of low light shooting (concerts) and use slides
outside so I use spot metering regularly. I've tried drawing an
imaginary "X" between the four corners of the screen but it's very
hard to judge.

Does anyone here have any suggestions for an alternative screen with
better markings?

I know this is about 15 year old equipment. If there is a better forum
for this question please let me know and I'll ask there.

Thanks for your time.

Timothy
