It looks like it is the pilot lamps after all. Being in series threw
me off when checking the voltage. I had asked in another thread about
where to buy them. Pretty expensive at $3.57 each when regular grain
of wheat go for about 29-cents. Guess I will have to pony up the cash
if I want them from the Kenwood distributor. Wish I could find a
cross-reference.

The panel lamps on my Kenwood TM-732A are not functioning. I checked
and found 0 voltage at the lamps with any setting of the dimmer. They
are driven by a 2SB1149 Darlington transistor (Q1). Anyone have any
experience with this problem? I guess I could just replace Q1 and see
if that fixes it.
