Receiver does not show stereo light

I have an ancient receiver Polyvox PR 1800 (decade of 1970).

It gets FM strong and fine but does not show stereo light.

I already replaced the CA1310 (FM stereo decoder) and the CA3089 (oscilator) and the problem continues.

What can be the origin of the problem?

maybe the lamp has blown ??

Lamp is working.
Tomorrow I will play a music of Beatles (We can Work it Out) that has singers in one channel and instruments in other, to see if it is generating stereo. I will use a CD and an FM stereo transmitter. Maybe it is only the indicator that is not working.

Lamp power, as I can see, comes directly from the CA1310. I intend to replace it again.
It is possible that it has burnt during soldering.
 
Make sure you have a proper antenna for FM reception (They're directional, if you're
far from the transmitter).
From your second post, you're apparently using an auxillary input to check if your
receiver/amplifier is outputting a stereo signal.
They're two different things.
