Sansui 771 help with missing lamps... and wires

Hi all
I need help with the following mistery case. Hold tight.

I bought my first vintage amp from a fellow in Valencia. It was a Sansui 771. It was his late father's amp. I could not test it before hand. It a was buy or die situation. I was assured last symphony it played was "perfecto". So it was a buy. The amp sounds good on phono and radio play. But only one lamp lighted up. It looked rather sad, dim, ordinary.
So yesterday I took the cover off and surprise...
the lamp of the VU meter comes on, flikers, goes off, comes back on...
there is one lamp not working next to that and then no more lamps, no lamp holders, no wires...
there is some light coming from somewhere around the 30 mark to illuminate the dial, but only partially.
the lamp's board is so empty...

Anyone please with this Sansui family help (images appreciated). Cheers

Probably just poor contact and/or burned out bulbs. Contact AK member DGWojo for replacement bulbs. The white plastic illumination case is fairly easy to remove.
