Hi everyone
thanks so much for the unbeleiveable amount of things I have learned from this sight and the vast amount of entertainment also. I do have a question. How do I go about replacing a indicator light in my eprad co operator? can I get something from radio shack?
would appreciate all your ideas please

#1 Radio Shack no longer stocks parts

#2 pull the cap straight up, don't twist. You will see the bulb. Memory is foggy after that. Common bulb available anywhere; we stock them. Louis

You can use a small piece of masking tape to adhere to the lamp and pull it out of the holder.

The lamp looks like a miniature bullet.

I recommend that you have the power off so you don't short out the delicate connections in the system while inserting the new bulb.
