I’ve not worked on one but I believe from the manual that there is a snap on LED cover that you remove to release it and the wire stays attached to the LED.

It has been a while since the last Beogram 5000 on the bench, but I seem to remember when you lift off the dustcover hinge block, a small connector becomes visible. Martin

Mark you were right on. The answer was simpler than I made it out to be. There is a small cover on the light itself on the underside of the dust cover that holds the bulb. Once removed, the bulb holder itself slides back through the top of the dust cover and through the holes in the dust cover bracket. I am removing the dust cover to replace the aluminum plate that somehow had something dripping on it that corroded the plate leaving a half-dollar sized hole in the finish. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos before I started. The plate is now removed and I am in the process of cleaning and polishing the dustcover itself before replacing the plate. (Ordered from Beo-Parts). Since this plate was in the worst shape, I started with the Beogram 5000 turntable before setting out on the Beocenter and Beogram 5000 cassette. Thank you for the replies.
