Radio dial light
I just installed my "new" vintage Becker Europa radio and it sounds decent, but the dial light does not work. Anyone know what kind of bulb I need, where to get one, and how to change it? I'd like to know what I'm getting into before I take it back out and start poking around

Can't speak to your radio specifically but... You may try gently pulling the knob to see if it comes off. Many do and you may then have access to the bulb. I'd at least try this before pulling the radio and opening her up.

The knobs and front face come off no problem, I just need to know what to do next to get at the bulb. (Note-this is a circa 1970 radio!)

Becker USA has a repair service for any Becker imported to the USA, they'll even restore tube models. I'm sure your dash light presents no problem, and a phone call will get you the tech help needed to change the bulb.
