Yamaha rx v850 repairman needed

You need to purchase the 14v lamp from a Yamaha dealer. It plugs in so it is easy to replace. Chuck

You didn't say where you live so someone could suggest repairs in you area. However your IP address say's you're near Philly PA in the USA.

Uh the 850 has a flurescent display.

I looked it up, it's definitely a lamp, like the RX-V890 was. Most Yamaha's are flourescent but not the 850. Looked through the manual twice however, and could not find the lamp part number. The schematic reference is PL 101.

I was looking at a picture of an 850 on Google. Looked like it was an electronic display to me.

Yeah, they look about the same, but some models do use the lamps (or did, that is).

That's odd. Thanks for the info tho. I used to do Yamaha warranty but don't recall if I had an 850 on the bench.

Thanks Mark. I ran a Yamaha warranty station when this unit was new and I was pretty sure it used a lamp. They were a high failure part but I can't remember the part number. Chuck

Hi....

Here's a whole bunch of parts for your machine, but no bulb or lamp separately. Seems most things are inexpensive, perhaps one includes the lamp? Maybe it'll be of a bit of help anyway? :)

If nothing else, there's a service manual, which probably well identifies the lamp.

Take care.

Yamaha parts department can identify the lamp, 800-854-1965.

Alternatively, there's a fellow on eBay selling LED replacements for fuse lamps etc. I've dealt with him and he's fine. He says he can provide replacement LED's for the 14 volt Yamaha lamps, though I think you'd probably have to solder the lamp to the existing wire / plug set and insulate using shrink-wrap or electrical tape.
