Becker Europa Question
« on: October 17, 2012, 13:23:17 »
I have the original Becker Europa mono radio in the car and it works very well from an audio perspective, however the only light that comes on when the radio is turned on is the capsule-shaped green light, the bulb for which we just replaced.  Are there any other lights that should illuminate the tuner?  It is difficult to see when driving at night.

Thanks

Hi John. I just took a look at my Europa and I was wrong. There is definitly a white all over back light to the frequency display strip as will as the bright green blob.  It's not particularly effective though as the green ligh drowns it out somewhat.

Thanks - very helpful.  Mine must be burned out.  The list expands!
