Have a JVC JR S81W receiver that I'm cleaning up
There is no dial pointer lamp, looks like they may have had it as an option on some other models but just use the same pointer for all models

There is a stereo indicator lamp(or as they call it-stereo radar) on the face
and looking at the SM, Here, (http://www.hifiengine.com/manuals/JVC/JR-S81.shtml) I see no indication there ever was a dial pointer lamp on this model

Was just thinking maybe I could move that bulb to the dial pointer.
Well not that exact bulb, as it's burned out(callin djwogo) and it's too big as well

but you get the idea, have the dial pointer be the stereo indicator-maybe paint it passion pink or something

pic of pointer attached

all right all you lookers

Keep it stock, just replace the burned out bulb on the face plate stereo indicator
or
Put new bulb in the pointer, wired to indicator leads

Maybe I should just try it and see what it looks like, hmmmmmmm
