Leak Delta FM.
Hi I have a leak delta I have not taken it apart it yet, I wonder if anyone knows what bulbs I need for it. It has a problem with 2 of the buttons they push in but don't lock in place, can these switches be repaired

Re: Leak Delta FM.
Isn't this a cosmetically repackaged Leak "Stereofetic" FM tuner? (Leak also made a similarly styled Delta AM/FM tuner)

Re: Leak Delta FM.
Hi Mark, I would try a squirt of Servisol switch cleaner onto the switch bank latching mechanism in case it is sticking a little. DO NOT be tempted to use WD40 or such like though. The bulbs I believe are LES type and are available on ebay for example, but you would need to check the voltage of the bulb in the tuner.... I think two are 6.5v 1w, and the other is 6v 0.36w LES 5mm.

Re: Leak Delta FM.
Thanks Andrew the bulbs look all the same. I will have to try take it apart so I can get to them and have a look. I brought it from the bring and buy sale at harpenden sitting in cupboard for a long time think it was £20/25 at the time
