I have a pair of stanton str8-80's that both the record guide lights are out. I know with technics you can just buy the light assembly and install, but would it be possible to do it up radioshack style with mines? I know a little electronics and soldering so I think it should be easy. Anyone ever do this before, on technics or other brand?

    I think the key is to change the bulb outside the turntable and then put it back inside. Gets a bit cramped in there otherwise, and you'll be breathing solder fumes.

    It's a huge pain in the ass, especially on techics. if you don't "need" the light...i'd just hold off.
