A SX-650 surprise

[Old John]

I inherited a beautiful SX-650 from my mother-in-law several years ago. It's clean, functions perfectly and sounds great. But a few days ago I opened the case to replace several bulbs that I thought were burned out. But...SURPRISE... the bulbs weren't burned out, they had never been wired, the leads just coiled up under the sockets, see picture. Was that a factory error? Can anybody tell me where the leads should be attached?

Thanks

I see you have one lamp that works, I'd follow that lamp and hook the others to the same point. I had a SX-650 for years, but gave it to my dad. So unfortunately, I can't tell you exactly where they hook up. But I know all 3 work at the same time so its not a real complicated design.
By the way, those SX-650's are a nice mid line reciever. Sound great, look great, and don't cost a mint either.

The outer two bulbs connect to the same circuit as the center one does.

The simplest solution is to connect the two outer lamps to the center one.

No digging, no sweating.....

Thanks, gentlemen... that makes the task sound easy.
