My STA-150 needs a new front panel bulb, but it looks like I have to destroy the glued-on display panel to get at it. Any suggestions?
Thanks, JohnS

I know this is a way late response, but all you have to do is remove the two screws on the top of the lamp panel. It's a little deceiving because those screws also hold a stiff wire standoff in place (the standoff is used to lift the wires that lead to the lit tuning needle. The lamps are just 8V fuse style ones. I'll try to update with photos later.
