Hello Vince.

I can't help with a source, but I have the same problem with the meter lamps As there is plenty of 12V available perhaps there is a white LED solution that someone has discovered. Then it will be a fix for life.

Thanks

Anyone know off hand the voltage and current rating of the meter lamp in an FT-736 and hard it is to get too? Replacement source?

When I have it apart I need to address scratchy pots issue too with the AF gain, squelch, RF gain, and mic gain. Anyone ever taken care of that? What cleaner to use?

Thanks

Happy 4th everyone.

And what about the display lamps? It's hard enough to see the display inside, much harder outside like for Field Day. Harvey K5HV
