You can order lamps from Yaesu , there about .90 cent.... If your rig use's
the standard leaded bulbs. Icom & kenwood price's are super high. When I do
a radio repair & need parts ...Lets say a transistor or chip , that is not
proprietary part. I always call Yaesu to see if one of there radios use's
the same part. A good example is the lamps, a normal 12v leaded lamp cost
.90 cents from Yaesu ..the same one from kenwood or Icom over $4.00 dollars
.......... Another example my TS-850 needed a T/R reed relay..... Kenwood
$15.00 ...Just so happens the exact same relay ( mastashiti ) was used in
the Yaesu FT-757 radio ....Cost?? $8.50 From Yaesu
