some have put leds in place of bulbs , some small automotive 12v bulbs will work with some minor futzing I dont recall the bulb number but they are not hard to find got mine at NAPA autoparts for my Yamaha B2..

Good luck, Elwood

Wrong forum area. This is for reporting problems with the forum, not problems with your equipment.

MOoly, I used these in my Yam 640, Mouser part# 606-cm2182. They were perfect for my Yam Receeiver... Rubber boots slipped in perfect. A bit of a pain soldering those dinky wires.

Its not me that needs them Sounds like they might be just the ticket for our friend.

Been there with a CR-1020. Search for "grain of rice bulb".

I'd had spent many hrs researching these... I recomend replacing 1 bulb at a time, so not to screw up wires and ALL the bulbs need to be replaced, because some of the bulbs are hooked in series and draw diffenent currents. If you screw up the wiring, it can burn out the pwr supply for the bulbs. It's time consuming and not much fun, till your done....
