Hi all,
I recently picked up a Technics ST-7300 to go with an HK 505 I also got recently. I'm having trouble actually getting to the meters, which appear to have burnt out lamps.
There aren't any fasteners accessible from the backs of the meters, so the faceplate probably needs to come off. The bottom of the faceplate is held on by three screws that come down from above, the pic isn't great but there's one under the three green buttons, one to the right above the foot, and then another to the left out of the shot:
The trouble is, you can't access the tops of these screws from the top of the unit. The left screw is under one of the meter assemblies and the middle screw is directly under the middle button. Tough to see, but you can see the screwhead right by the middle switch here:
The one over by the tuning knob you can actually get to:
And here's a shot of the area I'm talking about:
Here's the back of the faceplate:
The tracks along the top and bottom of the faceplate make it seem like it wants to just slide off, but the power switch and buttons all stick out too far for it to slide past them:
Here's the front:
Feel free to ask for more pictures or descriptions and thanks a lot!
