Where's the lighbulb in the Radar-Ranges?

I took the top plastic cover off my RR9 thinking for sure the lamp would be behind there, but there's nothing in there but the "stirrer" and a wire mesh that the radiation goes through. Where's the light bulb in these things, and how do you get to them?

There should be a narrow access plate secured by one screw on the back of the unit, in the upper-right corner (at least that's where it is on my RR-700). Unplug the oven, remove the screw and the plate, and there's the bulb. Good luck!

The bulb is not a threaded mount, but

is a push and turn, or "bayonet" mounted bulb. Some hardware stores have them, or try a sewing machine or vacuum store...they use this sort of bulb in high vibration applications.

Found it! thanks guys! That looks like the same lamp that's used in the "headlights" of some of the vacuum cleaners too!
