Hi Chrisb
I have just changed the bulbs in my Plastimo compass - I think mine is an Olymic 135 looking the interweb: mine is the pedestal type with a three piece plastic cover that slides over the compass bit. To change the bulb you need to take off the plastic Plastimo screw covers and undo the two large screws either side on the pivot point of the hood assembly. you should then be able to remove this and see the small bulbs fixed inside the first hood section. you might need to remove the compass to get the the junction of the wires as the wires are soldered to the bulbs and you change the lot. i bought new bulbs in Marine Superstore in Port Solent - they had them in stock! Fairly easy job in fact. Good luck
