And on a related topic, I have two of these radios.  They work great but the
backlight for the digital frequency readout is burned out.  I have a penlight
in the ashtray that I use when I need to know what station I am listening to,
but its a pain.

Any thoughts?  When I took the radio apart, replacing the bulbs seemed to be
next to impossible.  They were tiny and were soldered on a flimsy-looking
board.
