The bulb issue is a real design flaw for that particular model. I bought it new and the bulb lasted a couple weeks. I replaced it a couple times and it always burns out. You can shine a light on it to see the display, but frankly I have gotten used to just knowing what station I am on. I am thinking of trying an LED, but I don't know much about how to match it. Its a low priority right now.
