I just bought a Technics Model SA-8500X Quad 4-Channel Reciever. I don’t have the Sechmatic Yet. What Size Bulbs does it take for the 6 Top bulbs on the Dial? The Bottom Bulbs work OK. The Top 6 or 7 Bulbs are all burned out. Each bulb has (2) White Wires on each bulb with a plastic piece that push’s into a plastic mounting for each bulb. Anyone happen to know what kind of Bulb’s to Order?
They all use same bulb size. The white wires are app 17” Long on one wire & the other wire is Soldered onto a ground terminal housing.

Any ideas for bulb size? They are for FM, 4-Channel, CD-4. They are different then bottom of dial!!

Below is a link to the schematic. It is free but you need to register to download it. I suspect you are referring to grain of wheat light bulbs. I do not know a source to offer you as I haven't seen them in over a decade in a B&M surplus shop.
