Hi, rivieraranch:
Only a mere guess on my part, but it could be that there are horizontal, fuse-type lamps mounted within the meter housing on the lower portion.
To access them normally requires removal of the meter itself or at least lifting it up and out of the unit. The front lens on the meter may be hald in-place by clear tape and if so, then slice through it with a razor blade and carefully lift off the cover piece, watching out that you do not touch the needle of the movement or mess with it in any way.
The lamp may be visible and if so, then perhaps you can snip it out or carefully unsolder it with a very low wattage iron. If it is a genuine fuse-type lamp, it should be removable with a little push, but BE CAREFUL.
OTOH, sometimes a lamp is inserted from the back of a meter housing, but in most Japanese receivers with meters, what I have described above is quite the norm.
Please let us know what you do discover inside, though!
Good luck to you!
