Onkyo tuning dial light

[DKirk]

Does the T-9 have a lighted dial? My T-4 does not and I don't like it. Whoever heard of a tuner with an unlighted dial? I have to get a flashlight to to tune it. It's a nice tuner, otherwise.

It's been a while since I've been inside one, so not 100% certain, but I believe the answer is no. I do have the schematic handy, and it shows three always-on lamps. All three are pretty low-power compared to typical scale-illumination lamps, so I think they are for the two meters plus the tuning pointer.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I can live with it. I like the way it unlocks when your hand gets near the tuning knob..
