Trying to restore a Crown Macro Reference Esoteric - but I need some help, please.

[chilledspode]

It has been some time since I have been here but while away, I have been thoroughly enjoying Rick's 4344's :-)
I have recently acquired a very clean Crown amp for the 4344's, from the original owner, but the backlighting for the front panel is dead.
Operationally, the amp is perfect but I wanted to try to get it fully functional.
I understand the dedicated transformer is usually the issue but I have no idea where to source one or where I could have it rebuilt.
I am hoping someone here can point me to a Crown guru.
Thank you for your time
Mark

Crown has a Macro Reference service manual in 4 parts on their website:

Maybe something there will help you out.

Jeff,

Thank you for these links - I'll confirm with the tech that is working on this amp, that these are consistent with what we have been using.
I am hoping someone on LH has restored the backlighting for the front panel on one of these amps, and will share their insights on what was required and how it got executed/repaired.
Cheers
Mark
