If they're setup like all the Twins and transceivers, you need to get the
chassis out from the case. The VFO display is held to the front of the
chassis with two screws. There are two layers, blue and white. You will
want a new blue one. Be sure to put the white one so it faces out toward
the display. I've seen lots of Drakes for sale where those were reversed
and they just don't look right...
Someone has mentioned that you can get filters from photo supply places. I
haven't owned any rigs yet where the frequency display needed a replacement
filter, but loads of meters need it. The meter only has a clear blue strip.
When you take it apart, you'll see how it's installed and that's much better
as a way of explanation than me blathering on...

Subject: [Drakelist] Replacing Blue Filters in RV-4C
Merry Christmas everyone,
What is the best method to actually GET to the faded blue filters to
replace
them in an RV-4C? Do I go in through the front panel, or does it slide
out the back of the cabinet similar to the power supply?
Are there any "secrets" to getting to them that makes it easier to
replace? I
have read about accidently shorting leads together around the meters, etc,
so
what should I be aware of when I change it out?
Thanks
Michael N4MAK
