I've had mine apart when I was updating it. If you remove the
bandswitch/preselector range knob, the two black plastic side panels, and
the two screws on each side of the front panel that hold it to the chassis,
you can tilt the front panel enough to get at that light bulb.
If you use this same technique, it becomes much easier if you ever have to
pull out that DR-7 board. I used to always bend and tilt that DR-7 board
until I figured out this "lazy" way.

Does anyone know how to change the bulb behind the main tuning knob?
I've never done it and it needs replacement. Thanks in advance.

Oh boy! I haven't done that in a long time, but I almost think you have to
pull
the DR7 board to get to it. Easy enough I suppose but if you've never done
it
before then you might have a bit of hesitation yanking that board.

If I get a chance and no one else responds I'll pull the cover on my R7
and take
a look see.
