    Fisher RS-1056: Can't Remove Indicator Lamps

    Hello all. I am servicing my Fisher RS-1056 stereo receiver, and am trying to remove the indicator lamp that indicates whether it's receiving FM stereo or not. It seems to be burned out. The disassembly instructions say to grab the lamp holder's base with pliers and pull it out of the grommet holder. After 40 years of use, the lamp holder has gotten VERY stuck into the grommet holder, and I can't remove it. Apart from literally cutting it out, how do you remove this thing!?

    Thanks for the help.
    Don't buy those $10 PSU "specials". They fail, and they have taken whole computers with them.

    My computer doubles as a space heater.

    Just cut out the old rubber grommet, it will need replacing anyway because of hardening.
