Replacing bulbs in a Marantz 125 tuner

[ex brickie]

I've acquired one of these tuners but the bulb which lights up the "stereo" lamp on the front fascia doesn't work. The manual says nothing about replacement bulbs and it doesn't look easy to get into (the string for the tuning dial is directly above what looks like a pretty sealed unit). Does anyone know:

anything about the tuner and how to get at the bulbs?
what bulbs it takes (I can order spares too for other lamps)?

Cheers

PS I can email a photo if anyone needs to see more of the inside

Hi Nick, first thing If you have not already done so is get yourself over to AudioKarma, these are the guys for vintage gear.

Having spent (wasted?!) quite a lot of time browsing the Marantz section over there its not uncommon to have to remove the tuning dial string on the receivers although I would have thought the tuners would have a bit more space to spare. Well worth registering, a very helpful bunch.


HTH, Paul.
