What capacitors need replacing to fix very dim display. Radio works fine, just can't make display brighter.
Vacuum fluorescent display is worn out .. there is no repair. Replacement is the only cure.

There very few people on forums that can service bose equipment,its best to get the authorised tech do the job.
Thanks

There's a line fuse inside the radio, mounted on a PC board. CAUTION:
disconnect the set from power before opening the case or poking around
inside. The fuse could be bad, but these sets are notorious for losing
the power transformer. If the fuse is ok then you are looking at a
$100 repair fee from Bose. You might want to check out the new HD radios -- better sound, MUCH lower price.

Thank You for all those answers. Display can be adjusted but extremely dim. Was told some capacitors needed replacement and want to know which would affect display brightness. With 50+ years an electronic repair technician I can easily repair this radio, just need to know which caps to replace. Thanks again.
