Hi Mike,
1) The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
2) There are others on this list more familiar than me with the
older consoles, but generally speaking, VU meters did tend to have
illumination. This was usually in the form of one or more incandescent
bulbs behind or above the cream colored panel with the markings on it.
The bulbs can be hard to find these days. There are various ways to
retrofit LED's to do the job. Hope this helps.
best,
Ike

Sorry if this is a stupid question, as I already have issues with my
LED meter lights, but are the analog VU meters supposed to light up or
no? I never even thought about it until recently and can't remember
when I took the covers off whether or not there were bulbs...
