Replacing incandescent lamp on Beogram 4000

[etype76]

The sensor arm lamp on my Beogram 4000 gave up recently. I can see the filament has blown. I have a replacement. Can someone provide any tips or procedure to solder the new lamp in place? I can pull out the black plastic front of the sensor arm but there is resistance before I can get to the solder points. I don’t want to stress any of the wires. Any advice from people who have accomplished this “‘surgery’ is welcome.

take a look at this, as it may help you, as the instructional video shows position of the old incadenscent lamp and its wire connections, around time of 14:20 onwards

Thanks for the link. Yes, I’ve made use of Beolover’s excellent videos from time to time, although he does make it look easy 😀

I managed to install a new incandescent lamp. The BG4000 is working great again now. The bulb was trying to ride high so I placed a piece of masking tape to hold it down while I did the soldering. I also slackened and fed the green wire at the back of the arm a mm or 2 so I could get access.

the first pic shows the blown lamp and the second the solder points.
