I have both both meter lamps out in My 112R MK II (same as 112 and 122). They are soldered in and ride in soft plastic tubes so I'm assumming they are LED and are probably not burned out. I do not have a schematic yet and would like to know their required voltage and any other helpful info. Thanx much, Chuckalso, if anyone has a 112R I would like to know what kind of lube is used on the tranny (reverse/fwd) gear cluster.....they are metal, and was thinking of using Tetra-Lube (clear, synthetic) that I ust on my guns?? Thanx again, Chuck

Chuck, Richard is correct; those bulbs are not LED's. They are std. bulbs; but be prepared for a shocker if Teac/Tascam still has them availabe; they are not cheap. I have re-bulbed a Tascam 52, and several 122 Cassette decks; If I recall correctly, I ended up spending 60-80 bucks to do it. I think the bulbs were 8 dollars each!

Hi, Chuck:
Since apparently nobody else has responded to your query, I will try.
The lamps which you found inside your Tascam unit are more than likely incandescent types.
If you can, use a voltmeter to try and take measurements to see what voltage is being fed to them. You will also need to figure out the current draw requirement.
You can also contact Tascam online for further assistance.
As far as the lubricant on the other controls is concerned, you should only use a lubricant designed for electronic / mechanical applications. Radio Shack also sells a Teflon-based one in a clear tube, which I have used on some of my gear.
Experiment and do the necessary research to find proper answers to the issue regarding those lamps, but they are quite commonly found in many Japanese tape recorders and such.
