I have done this a few times on my 7205 and 352 and I can tell you that if you're going to do it yourself. Aquire a de-soldering tool from Radio Shack for about 15.00. This is the best way to remove the old bulbs without getting the traces on the board to hot, as they will pop up and then you are done. If that occurs you can use 22-24 ga wire as a jumper lead. The bulbs are availbale from McIntosh parts at 1.00 each. Also in removing tyhe bulb board you may have to loosen the front faceplate mounting to tip it forward. On my amps the power supply is situated right behind the meteres and there is no room to pull them out without doing this. You may get lucky on your piece and have enough room. The PC board fastens to the meter housing by snapping into place. You can carefully pull them out one at a time and unplug the board from the power supply. Once you have the board out if you don't want to do the soldering yourself you can also sent the board only to Mcintosh and they will rebulb it for about 25-30.00. This will let you keep your 6900 in service as it will work fine without the meters illuminated. Once you do it once it really isn't that hard and if you plan to keep it you might as well learn because in a few years you get to do it again! The bulbs behind the faceplate nomenclaure are plug in so they are easier. Just order about 20 or so bulbs from Mc and have 'em on hand. Good luck!
