Tuning dial problem

[oldbarneby]

The tuning dial pointer is supposed to light up yellow when tuning in a station, and then turn to red when a stereo signal is received. The yellow does not work, so the dial pointer does not light up until you find a stereo station. Then it lights up red as it is supposed to. This is on an old Realistic tuner. I would like it to work properly if it can be an easy fix.

Any idea's?

Model number would help at least to find a schematic.

Pop the top off and see if it is a light bulb. If so just contact dwojo69@msn.com. He probably knows which one it needs and can supply it.

An STA 76.

Looks like a pair of lamps are up in the dial pointer assembly and the yeller 1 is burnt out or the yellow wires are broken.Going to probably need a schematic or SM to identify the lamps model number/voltage/current load. Or measure the voltage going to the lamp and the physical dimensions of the lamp. Then talk with AK'r dgwojo and I'm sure he can probably hook u up with a replacement.
