Replacing Meter Lamps in the Omni VI+
From the Ten-Tec Reflector February 5, 2002
I need to replace a meter bulb in my Omni 6+. However, I can't seem to find the bulb number in the manual, is it the same as in the 238 tuner, if not what is the number?
Thanks,
Vince Santis,N1VS
I have #47 penned in next to the two bulbs on the 563 Manual wiring diagram sheet (the fold-out sheet).

Replacing the S-meter lamp is easy.
- Have a good #47 bulb ready. Very common easy to find.
- Remove the top cover of the Omni, 4 phillips head screws
- Change the lamp
- Replace the cover

On today's Ten-Tec user net I mentioned a small project I had undertaken, changing all the pilot lamps on my rack-mounted Ten-Tec gear to LEDs. If you're interested I've written up the exercise and placed a small article on my website.
Enjoy,
