Title: Yaesu FR 101S receiver dial lights
Post by: Knightt150 on May 30, 2021, 09:14:38 PM
 Hello: Where can I find DIAL LIGHT BULBS for my yaesu FR 101s receiver, these look strange to me and hard to replace.

Looks like they're 14 volt lamps. Are they bayonet, screw, wire, or some other strange mount??
A picture would help.

Hello: Pete they look like a glass fuse about 1" long almost 1/4 " in diameter and they just snap in. I could not get a camera in there to take a picture.

OR

12 volt versions are cheaper; need to add a series resistor:
