Thanks for your assistance

Hi there!

Almost a ten years bump, but I'd like to know where you guys found your replacement bulbs for your PM-2000. I am not considering changing for LEDs for now.

Thanks!

Why not?  If those folks used LEDs 10 years ago they would still be working and not need replacing.

Hello, did anybody ever determine the correct bulbs for the PM2000 VU Meters? I found some info online which I misinterpreted and the replacement bulbs I installed are now blowing the fuse in the power supply.
Looks like maybe the bulbs I picked up are intended only for the channel strip On/Off switches?

Do you have photos of it?

Sometimes it's hard to find the old small bulbs used in vintage gear because so many different models, sizes and connector type were used. But somehow with more or less dificulty I always seem to find the correct one or an alternative that works well

I did "warm white" 5mm LED's for the VU's and it looks great. just get the right resistor for the brightness you want, and you'd never know it wasnt an original bulb

yup exactly what I followed. Anything that makes the desk run cooler is a no brainer IMO! I used different colors for the channel lamps though.
