[ICOM] 551D S-Meter Light Replacement?

[Michael P. Olbrisch]

For the 551....  Remove the top cover.   You will see the light.  Easiest is
to cut it off and solder the new lamp to the old wires.  Insulate as needed
of course.

It is almost more difficult to type this than to change the lamp.  Fear not
- you will do fine.
