A question for the Sunfire Guys...

Tonight the pretty warm amber glow from my power meter has gone out after a very brief power outage here at the house. Everything else is functioning perfectly after power came back on. How hard is it to replace the light myself on these amps or am I better served by sending it to Bob & Rita for a tune up anyway...

    Is it an LED or light bulb?

    Its a bulb from I hear, but they do go out on a regular basis from reading on AVS, which is why I went for the TGA5200 model instead. You can do it yourself but it will require some soldering. Sunfire will probably send you a replacement for cheap. See here.

    I just leave it, it's not like the guage fluctuates when its active it's all the way to the right, when not it's all the way on the left. Big deal.

    They bulbs burn out frequently. I've never replaced mine & don't really give a rat's ****$ if it works or not. The amp sure as hell works~

    You may want to PM beemers417 about this. To me, he is an expert and could probably guide you right through it.

    Or you could e-mail him at : sales@vintagehifishop.com

    I hope this helps you out nooshinjohn.
