Minimoog power bulb.

2013-01-26 by Jim Blair

Hey all,

My Minimoog resto is coming along quite well. The new bushings are 
in, the bushing mounts are adjusted, and it's playing pretty nicely.

The next step is to repair a dead light. The little red one above the 
power switch.

I've opened the back panel, and access to the rear of the light is 
not a problem.

However, I'm curious about the mounting of the bulb, and the exact 
procedure for disassembly. Anyone here have some experience with this job?

Any recommendations for a part source? (I hate the thought of paying 
$30 for shipping one tiny bulb......but if I have to.....)


Thanks,

Jim
