[TenTec] Omni 546 C dial lamp

[A R]

Bob,
Yes, at least some...or,maybe all...546-C's have a lighted index line on the dial escutcheon (at least thru s/n 35xx, which I have). To the best of my knowledge, all 546-C's have digital readouts. So, whereas the index line was essential to determining operating frequency on analog readout OMNI's, it is cosmetic or ornamental on the 546-C.

Is the 546C supposed to have a tiny red light beam shining on the tuning knob skirt ?  I bought this radio used many years ago and it never had the light , but there is a tiny slit underside of the bezel . Either the bulb is burnt out or maybe they never used it on the later models with digital readout ?  This has been a great rig with no complaints over the years .
