if its one of the big meter style radios, they use a different type of bulb. looks kinda like a fuse with wires coming out the ends. i think they install inside the actual meter, but am not sure. should be available on line. matt anyone wanting a "clean signal", just look to the left and build one of these!!!

Behind the s-meter you will see a small pc board called the dimmer pcb. The lamp you are looking for is soldered on that board. You have to remove the dimmer pcb (4 screws) as the lamp is on the side of the dimmer pcb facing the s-meter. |
