[Yaesu] FT107M METER BULB

[Graham Shortreed]

The meter bulb in my FT107M has burnt out, and I'd like to know how to replace it.  
Is it a common bulb easily found, or will I have to see if Yeasu still has it?
Does the front panel have to come off in order to replace it, and if so, are there any hidden screws one should know about.  If the panel has to come off, it looks like while all the knobs are easily removed, the mike jack looks like it could be a problem.
I have the factory instruction manual, but don't have a service manual for it, hence the questions.
