Changing transponder light
The transmit light has gone out on my King transponder. I know the
transponder is working alright because ATC reads it just fine. Before I pay an exorbitant amount to an avionics shop for a new bulb, is this bulb something I can easily find and change myself? (have to admit I didn't have time to inspect it closely after I landed so this might be obvious when I get out to the airport this weekend) Thanks, Eric Bartsch 1959 Pilatus P-3 A-848 http://www.hometown.aol.com/bartscher/P3A848.html

For somebody familiar with the procedure, even heart transplant surgery is
routine. Jim wrote in message oups.com... The transmit light has gone out on my King transponder. I know the transponder is working alright because ATC reads it just fine.

Eric, only a properly rated avionics repair station can open up the unit and change the light. It may seem simple enough however to seal the unit is a different story. I would recommend taking it to the shop for replacement and let the paid techs handle this for you. Denny
