Tandberg TR-2080 FM STEREO lights up ?

That's good to know...

By Centered Channel Indicator, is that the meter to the left ?

I have read that the FM STEREO light is a screw in bulb...which I may need...we have a station here that could be picked up in a steel vault...

Can I get to that screw in bulb if I take the cover(s) off ?
(6 screws, back-top metal plate, top wood panel, front-top metal edge/90 degree. I can do that much, but don't want to take it any more apart than that !

Man, I am dreading taking the cover off again...

Not uncommon for that bulb on the tr-2080 to be quirky. Mine was mostly out for years but on occasion (usually after a cleaning) would decide to come on briefly and then go out again. I think it has to do with deposits on a contact somewhere internally but that is just an educated guess.

I had other bulbs simply go out after a while as well and need replacing. I had my Tandberg tr-2080 for about 25 years. It was a wonderful unit, particularly the amp and tuner sections, and I do miss it!

Still wondering if it's worth the 'cover hassle' to put a light bulb in...just in case anyone knows...maybe I'll call the Tandberg guy in Queens again...forgot his name...
