[Kenwood] TS-940S display lamps

Mon Nov 20 18:05:28 EST 2006

Yes, there are two wheatie type lamps behind the LCD display. Replacements 
can be had from East Coast Transistor Parts, Inc 
www.eastcoasttransistor.com. The part # is B30-0835-08.
Here is how to gain access to the bulbs as described to me by another ham. 
His instructions worked well for me.
The easiest way is probably to tilt the front panel
down, although I think I was able to do it without. Remove top and
bottom covers. The front panel tilts easily, you remove the flat-head
screws near the top on either side, then _loosen_ the two round head
screws near the bottom. The front panel will then tilt down 90 degrees,
but you don't need to go nearly that far. There are two screws that go
through the board with the clock battery on it that hold the whole
"sandwich" together and to the front panel. The bulbs actually mount
through the LCD board and the leads solder to two pads on either side of
the hole.
When reassembling, watch carefully that you don't pinch any wires.
