MCS 3275 - meter bulbs replacement

[P. S.]

Hi,
I have an MCS 3275 which I am currently restoring. Sound-wise it works perfectly but one of the meter lights is out.
Can anybody share what types of bulbs go into the meters in this model? Also - how do you ensure you don't damage the delicate power meter indicators when you change the bulb (are there any ceveats with this or is this pretty straightforward?)

Thank you!

Way late but I just did this.

I used some 12V incandescent bulbs that I had.
The process:
-Remove faceplate (all knobs,levers and four screws top/bottom)
-Remove three plastic rivets that hold meter plate in
-Pull out meters far enough to pop the bulb holder out (sorry, I didn't take pics)
-Snip a wire tie that restrains the bulb wire
-Pull the wire and bulb sockets back to their origination (see pic)
-Now you have LOTS of room to play. Snip the wires and feed the new bulbs through the socket.
-Splice and reassemble.

Easy-peasy.

How do you go about pulling those rivets? I'd like to do so without destroying them but I can't quite get anything under to pull them.

Get your wire cutters under the head and gently pry them up.
Google "scrivet".
