[ICOM] IC781 meter light replacement

[Mike Olbrisch]

I have not replaced it in several years - as when I last did it I went to
LED.  But it seems to me that it was mounted as most ICOM meter lamps was.
It should just pull out.

Good luck with it - I am sure others will either back up my story, or tell
us that I am wrong.  That's the beauty of LEDs, you only do it once, and
forget about it.  Don't think I have a meter lamp left in the shack.

After my recent move I find my meter light is out on my 781.  I took the top
case off and tapped the meter housing and the light came on for a bit and
went back out.  On other radios I have been able to just pull the bulb out
through the back of the housing but this one doesn't want to come out.  I
don't want pull too hard not knowing for sure if this is what to do.  Can
anyone give me a tip on how to change this bulb?  I would sure appreciate
it.  Thanks and 73  Tom AB8BW
