[Kenwood] Kenwood TS-940 LCD display, clock Bulb

[Dennis Younker NE6I]

Hi Larry,

I haven't tried this bulb that I had found on the net but others have told 
me that a 10 volt bulb is required. I've been meaning to get into my TS-940S 
and measure the voltage feeding that bulb. In fact, I have one of the two 
bulbs out in my primary 940 right now. It's a bit of a pain (to me) to 
replace these bulbs, and mine seem to go out every couple of years. I'm 
thinking that some sort of LED with the appropriate dropping resistor might 
work better for me. I'd like to replace them one last time and be done with 
it forever. :)

The links I posted below are still good, so if incandescent is one's 
preference, that bulb may work. It was nice when East Coast Parts had the 
direct replacement. I ordered a bunch of them years ago but have exhausted 
my supply now.

I sent this original query out on September 27 but I have not had any 
replies. I'm going to try it again to see if anyone can assist.




My Kenwood 940 LCD clock display has lost it's light. I'm not sure exactly 
what the replacement for it is. The meter and frequency lights are OK. Does 
anyone know of a good source for a replacement?

I did find a posting on this forum from 2011 that may or may not be 
good......just for reference. Thanks in advance, Larry KC8JX
