Exact replacement part :)

It's a metal spring holds it in, I just use some pliers, the new lamp comes with a new plate sprin

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
