Thanks!  I completely missed it on the schematics.  Looking at my meter assembly, it appears the lamp is built into the assembly.  My ON light functions fine, so maybe the dial lamp is just dim.  I'll check again.

Cheers, Kevin

Two different types of lamps are used;
One is a wedge type (like the others), sitting in a plug-in socket at the side of the meter,
the other is an axial type sitting built into the meter and a bit harded to access.

Turns out my signal strength meter lamp was burnt out.  The meter is more difficult to access than it appears, because of a stiff ribbon-style curcuitboard that was in the way.  I needed to unbind the wiring harness from the top and then open the bottom to work the meter out enough to access its side.  This unit was the type with the plug in socket at the side, lucky me.  The new 6.3V 35mA bulb is installed, and everything is back together. 

Thanks for the help, Martin!

I see Kevin is missing the tuner preset cover, as is every 4400 I can remember seeing for sale on Ebay. 

I'm starting to think the part never existed!

Nah, I have the cover stored in an offshore secure mobile facility, and its location is changed so often even I don't have a clue where it is.  It's that valuable!

Yes it does - for some odd reason I often see it remaining on BM4000's (like mine) but not on 3000/4400's.

....anyway Geoff explains how to reproduce them in this brilliant thread 🙂

Mika:

Thanks for the link to the thread.  Outstanding work by Geoff.  Anyone else done it since?

Will someone with an original cover please post a few photos for us?  I was mainly curious about dimensions, and if the tabs are squared like Geoff's wonderful cover, or if they are hooked as I imagined they might be. I'd really like to know what an original looks like.  Thanks!
