Bogen dial lamps
#1

Does anyone know how to replace the dial lamps on this recevier? It is an Bogen RR550. Plays well but the one neon bulb on the FM dial indicator is out. Here are a couple pics. Any help appreciated.

Well like a lot of things there's a couple ways to go about.

Plan A Find the Sam's photofact #331-3 It's all about your RR-550
It will have the part # for the replacement part as of 1956 when I
was born and your bogen was built. It also may tell you how to install it.

Plan B Me I would measure the voltage across the bulb. If it's about
68-75vdc I would use a NE-2 neon to replace. But I'm cheap.

Thanks for advice. I have ordered 2 of the bulbs you mentioned.
I will check the sams and hope it tells how to remove old bulb. Never seen something like this.
