Thread Starter |  Pro VLA VU Meter Lamp
Has anyone ever replaced a VU meter lamp in an ART PRO VLA compressor? I'd like to know if it is easily replaced, how to do it, and where to buy the lamp. Thanks Lou LMAudio |

call art, thay will probably send you some free bulbs. theres no soldering involved, just pop the top and unscrew the back of the VU meter. Arthur

I opened my VLA II and it looks not so easy to replace the lamp.

I have an original ProVLA from 1996 or 97. The lamp is replaced quite simply by removing the top (6 or so screws), pulling off the two red leads from the lamp back (simple spade type connectors), then unscrewing the lamp base from the meter (2 small phillips screws above and below the lamp base). After that, the base is free and the lamp just pops out of its fuse holder style clips. Screw the lamp base back to the meter, attach the two red leads back to the spade terminals, and close up the box. You're done. Last year when I went through my ProVLA I converted it to LED back-lighting. That required the addition of a 12VDC supply which I also used to fire up the heaters on the tubes. I can't remember where I got the LED back-light from. I remember it cost more than I wanted to spend. But it was a ready made bolt-on replacement. |

Thread Starter | Found Supplier
Thanks for the replies. I found a supplier in the U.K. It turned out to be very easy to replace. They have a minimum so I got 12. With shipping the cost came to $25 USD. PM me if you need only one. (not sure yet how I'd wrap it for safe mailing, so no guarantee). Audio Maintenance Limited Miniature Lamps LMaudio |

  After reading a few different posts about ART replacement lamps, I was able to contact ART and they sent me out 3 replacement lamps at no charge. Great customer service!  | |
