Nikko 9095 Bulb Replacement

[Swells]

Hi all. I am new to the world of vintage audio and have used this site quite often to educate myself on this topic. I do have a newbie question that is specific to the Nikko 9095 receiver and bulb replacement. I am looking to change out the current incandescent bulbs with LED ones. I have a few questions related to this:
1. I have not started taking apart the receiver other than to take the wood cabinet off to give it a good Watco danish oil treatment. Will LED fuse style bulbs work in the Nikko 9095?
2. How many bulbs will be needed to replace them all?
3. Currently all lights are working with the exception of the bulb that lights up "FM" when the FM source is chosen. Is there a bulb specific to each source name?
Thanks in advance for the help.

LED fuse style bulbs will work in the 9095. The service manual is available on the HIF Engine site for free by registering on the site. it should help with all of the bulb info.

Hi
3 types of bulb in the 9095,
the Source Selector and (I think the Stereo lamp )are 8V 50ma Bulbs, I don't know what size they are or if they require soldering, mine are working so I didn't replace them. You need 1 for every source.
The Tuning Meter, Signal Strength, and Tuning Dial Glass are all 8V 0.3A Fuse style lamps. The Service Manual says there are 5 in the Tuning Dial but there are 6.
The Dial Needle lamp is 8V 75ma and I'm not sure of the size, mine is working.

The Meter Lamps are the easiest to change, 2 screws

To get at the Tuner Dial Glass lamps and probably the Source Selector bulbs you have to remove the Faceplate (the SM gives instructions) and Dial Glass.

To remove the Dial Glass there is a bracket at the bottom and 4 plastic Rivets at the top of the glass.
To remove the plastic rivets I used 2 Spudgers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spudger to gently pry out the rivet far enough to remove with my fingers. Be careful! There is a little plastic ring in the chassis that the rivet fit into, you don't want to lose it.
You can then maneuver the Dial Glass out. I should have taken photos, it's easier than it sounds.

The Source lamps are in their own housings and there is a shield in the chassis under the Dial String that may need to be removed to replace them.

My 9095 is out on loan so I can't look at it right now.

Hope this helps and if you do find out what style bulbs the Source Selector uses please let us know.
