I have a 575H and it's a neat rig.  Like all Icom's of that era, it uses 
these
teeny tiny 'grain of wheat' bulbs and they do go.  Last time I checked Icom
had them for $2 each.  Hope they still do as I need several.

But it's a great rig, and folks like Scott Malcolm do a great job on fixing
them.
