    Nikon ol-7s lensmeter, light bulb problem!

    My light bulb went out on the power reading and I can't figure out where to open it up to find it. I can't locate any info on this type of lensmeter! Is anyone familiar with this and can tell me where to open it to change out the bulb? I have two of these and figured I could swap them out ( the one that works has a bad stabilizing table). Help!! Thanks in advance.

    This link will give you the instruction manual in .PDF form

    Edit: Doesn't look like the instruction manual tells you anything about the light source. Sorry!

    Thanks for the link! It does have useful info and kinda funny, too!

    I did call a company that distributes this particular model and they didn't know either, but he did tell me that there is only one bulb in it and I was still getting light in the target, so that told me the bulb is not blown. I took it apart, put it back together and guess what, it started working again!
