mcintosh mcd 7008 front panel lights dont work


Hi fellow agoner's please help long time agon seller and buyer dont post much,i have the 7008 cd player which I love,the front logo and front panel lights were burned out so i replaced them with lamps i ordered from mc,when the unit is powered up the lights dont come on.Everything else works perfect cd display works fine,I changed the belts also since I had it apart load belt and laser belt which was a breeze,any thoughts on this problem would greatly appreciated I put a volt meter to lamp pin sockets on the circuit board show no voltage havnt soldered them yet to the board but they still should light correct? amature at this first time.

Sounds like the power supply to the lighting. McIntosh uses a 5 or 12 volt power supply for their lighting depending on the vintage. Give audioclassics.com a call in the morning, they are very helpful and may know of a fuse between the light board and the power supply or maybe between the main board and the power supply. Also look at berners.com and see if they have a downloadable schematic that may help you locate the fuses or how to isolate the power supply.
