Lamp Replacement
I just replaced all LED's in a 2226B. I used the (7) Ebay #191021320541 fuse lamps and (1) Ebay #190649138195 bipin lamps. The non polar fuse lamps just fit perfectly in the fuse clips so no soldering was required. For the "Stereo" Lamp, I cut the lead off and soldered on the no polar bipin lamp. No polarity, no mess. The whole job took less than 30 minutes. Easy Peasy! The bipin lamps should work for your receiver as well.
It was very useful - I didn't use the same LEDS that you did on a 2230, I used the replacement fuse lamps that CKeeler sells and I used some 10mm single lamps using 220ohm resistors on the biPins. All the bi-Pins have been replaced and working great but I'm having a little difficulty with the STEREO Indicator lamps. I can't seem to get them to work. Before removing the incandescents I confirmed that they were lit. Then I put my LED's in - configured per the online LED array Wizard that tsd71 had a link to on page 3 of this thread.
I've attached a screen shot of the wizard. I don't believe I had the array in backwards. I put one 270ohm resistor on the negative side of LED 1, attaching the neg (resistor) lead to the outside left pin hole of the PCB (as you face the tuner) and the Pos lead to the shared center segment of the PCB , then I added LED 2 sans resistor, with the neg lead to this shared center segment, and the pos lead to the far right hole of the PCB.
Turn on the tuner - no Stereo indicator lights.
I ended up putting the incandescents back in.
Any suggestions - did I do something incorrectly? Should I do 2 LEDs configured to 6 volts with individual resistors as opposed to a 2 LED array?
I know this is possible - I see others who have successfully done this.
