Decided to bring out the Fisher 101R FM tuner and see what I could do about it picking up the same station at two places on the dial. After three tries at the alignment I got it working good and also cleared up the distortion when using  Pioneer MPX adapter with it.
 Now I decided to try and come up with a work around on the burned out dial lamps.

  As you see the lights for this are about 3 inches long. I looked around on the net for replacements but could not find any.
 So checking what I had on hand . Decided to try this out. These are extra 8 volt LEDs I had on hand for a Pioneer stereo.

   Now to figure a way to solder them together with out damaging them.
Came up with this idea.

  A quick light tack solder to hold them together with the piece of spring and a bench test to see if they will work.
The original Fisher dial lamps are 7 volts , so I used a 9v battery with resistor to lower the voltage for the test.

  The ends of the LEDs are larger than the original lamps so you have to be careful not to break the holders when installing them.

  Sorry about the blur. But it appears that this will work out. At least for now. Maybe I'll come across some original dial lamps.
