Subject:   ALINCO LITE BLOW OUTS

IN RESPONSE TO N1DLO MESSAGE RECENTLY, AND OTHERS FROM MY PREVIOUS MESSAGES,
ALINCO DOES HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH LITE BURN OUTS!!
I PUT A MESSAGE ON PACKET LAST YEAR, WHEN MY 112 WAS ONLY A COUPLE MONTHS
OLD, AND ONE DISPLAY BACKLIGHT BULB BLEW. WHEN IT GOT COLD LAST FALL, THE
OTHER ONE BLEW. SOME MAY REMEMBER THAT I UPDATED THIS MESS, AS ALINCO,
WHEN I CALLED THEM TO COMPLAIN, AND ORDER BULBS, SENT ME A PACKAGE OF
NUTS AND BOLTS!
I RETURNED THEM, WITH A NOTE, THAT I AM NOT AN ELECTRONIC ENGINEER, BUT
I DONT SEE HOWYOU CAN GET LIGHT TO EMIT FROM THOSE PARTS. ANOTHER PACKAGE
CAME ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, WITH TEN BULBS(I ORDERED 3) ANF
DAND THEY WERE FREE.
I LIMPED ALONGWITH ONE BACKLITE FOR ALL SUMMER, AND LAST NIGHT, NOT ONLY
DID IT GO, BUT ALSO TWO OTHERS ON THE LIGHTED CONTROL PANEL BELOW.
I PUT IT  ON MY BENCH, REMOVED BOTH COVERS, FRONT PANEL IS EASY TO GET
OFF, SNAPS, TWO LARGE NUTS AT MIC AND CHANNEL SELECTOR.
THEN THREE SCREW IN FRONT BOARD AND YOURE THERE. I REPLACED THE TW BACK
LITES FOR THE LCD, AND THE ONE CONTROL PANEL LIGHT. HOOKED IT UP, AND
YOU GESSED IT, THE OTHER TWO WENT. SO ALL FIVE WERE REPLACED LAST NITE!!!
WATCH THE LCD WHEN PUTTING THE FRONT PANEL BACK ON. IT MUST FIT REAL TIGHT
OT IT WONT DISPLAY.
ALSO, IF BULBS ARE NEEDED, AND YOU DONT WANT THE NUTS AND BOLTS HASSLE
FROM ALINCO, BUY THE 272-1092 BULBS AT RADIO SHACK -SAME THING
HOPE THAT HELPS. AND TO THOSE THAT ASKED, YES THERE ARE ALOT OF OTHERS
OUT THERE WITH THE SAME LITE BLOWING PROBLEMS.
KEEP US UP TO DATE. HOPE THIS HELPS.
