[amsat-bb] My ft-736 meter lamp went dark, and scratchy pots.

[David G0MRF]

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.
