I have several receivers - all of them look and sound great, are clean and seem in perfect working order but, the stereo indicator light is dead.
Sony STR-V5
Technics SA-5560
Harman Kardon HK930

These are all nice receivers. FM reception is strong and they all play in stereo. I dig into them and get all the other dead bulbs replaced. I snip out the dead stereo bulb and splice in a new one. Nothing. It seems to happen over and over. Is this a case of the tuner needing adjustment? Why are these stereo bulbs so finicky? Nothing in this hobby is more frustrating than having a sparkly vintage receiver that is this close to being perfect and having one little thing preventing it. Is there a common reason for this situation? Thanks.
