I decided to break out my Technics SA-850.
couple lamps are burned out, Does anyone know of a source where to purchase replacements?
The display is dim, I am wondering if it a power supply issue, anyone have an idea on a corrective action.
I have to do some cleaning on it scratchy pots etc. I would like to get this one back into perfect shape.
Something i can do myself, but know when its beyond my skillset. If i have to send it out, any recommendations on service center, or private individuals



Thanks guys

Looking at the service manual
The part number for the lamps i need are
PL1 XAMR74S17 qty 3
PL2 XAMSQ17-1 qty 1

Do you know where i can source these?

Thanks guys
 
I was able to locate work able replacement lamps. not LED's
And the unit came out i think pretty good, sounds good with my Cerwin Vega LS-5 test speakers.
I restored the matching cassette deck as well and the pair looks and sounds awesome.
Recorded on my Iphone 12 pro max, no special eq-ing or mixing just direct raw sound. Think is sounds pretty good.
