[Kenwood] TM-733 backlight

[Jim Miller]

I have a 732 and I think is the same radio except for an extra connection I
didn't have on my 732.  Loved that radio but 12 years of sitting on the dash
in the hot sun finally got it.  The display lamps (2) I replaced with Radio
Shack lamps they had in stock and that I found on their internet site.  Just
picked a 12 volt lamp with small current draw that was basically the same
physically and it worked fine until the PA finally became intermittent.
Still works (lamps too) as a receiver or scanner (and as a full power
transmit radio when IT feels like it).

73, Jim
