Tandberg TR-2080 FM STEREO lights up ?


Just bought this, does the FM STEREO (red) letters (above the 88-108 numbers, about in the center) light up when an FM station is centered ? It is red, but it doesn't get any brighter when a station is picked up, wondering if it's supposed to.

I have read that the FM STEREO light bulb screws in, and there is also a dial indicator light that solders in...another project !
That's good to know...

By Centered Channel Indicator, is that the meter to the left ?

I have read that the FM STEREO light is a screw in bulb...which I may need...we have a station here that could be picked up in a steel vault...

Can I get to that screw in bulb if I take the cover(s) off ?
(6 screws, back-top metal plate, top wood panel, front-top metal edge/90 degree. I can do that much, but don't want to take it any more apart than that !

Man, I am dreading taking the cover off again...
Still wondering if it's worth the 'cover hassle' to put a light bulb in...just in case anyone knows...maybe I'll call the Tandberg guy in Queens again...forgot his name...
