Hi I am having a problem getting my stereo light indicator to light up. I even adjusted the vco with a screw driver. I get and receive live radio stations that come in just fine I just cannot get the light indicator to light up. I checked the bulb and the bulb is fine. Any suggestions on what else I could do to test or get it to work?? Any help from this thread would be amazeing. Thank you. Joshua

has it ever worked and then stopped ? or have you never seen it working ?

I assume you were on FM mode ?

If it has never worked, the received signal may not be quite strong enough to active the stereo decoder and turn on the indicator

Sir J0shua . . . . .

Firstly . . . check the units MODE pushbutton on the front panel . . . to see if it is in its STEREO position . . .if it is in MONO it will be grounding out the DC signal that activates the FM STEREO lamp indicator.

If that is the case . . . . then it would absolutely be " amazeing" . . . . (sic).

Also make sure you have an external antenna hooked up. Even a cheap dipole wire antenna will do.

By the way, nice receiver. They sure made quality stuff back in the day.
