[ICOM] Need IC-765 Assistance

[Frank A. Ellis]

Dave, I have bought many of these from Icom America when I was servicing the vintage ICOM rigs - I think they all use the same meter lamp assembly- it's a little pricey, but - it's the exact OEM replacement item. Some folks have discussed LED replacements in great detail on this list over the years, and that's your choice of course. The last time I bought the lamp assembly from ICOM America it was $4.50 or $5.00 if I remember correctly, but it is an assembly - the bulb with the molded rubber grommet complete with new, long leads - not just a light bulb. It will maintain the "stock" condition of the rig, if that's important to you.

Good luck!
