Bulbs for SC816 Radio

I have removed the parts of the radio to get at the 5 bulbs on the circuit
board. I removed one of the burnt bulbs to see if I could find
replacements. Not successful so far. Does anyone know where I can purchase
replacement bulbs? Does the dealer carry this part? Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Mike

 

Radio Shack has them, without the holders, which you can reuse.

Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.
(But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.)

 

Is there a specific watts volts ? I went to Radio Shack and they had no
idea. The wires attached to the bulb seem to be fused to the plastic holder
........ can that be cut out? It is better to ask dumb questions than to
make dumb mistakes. Thanks in advance for any help

Think a electronics house would be more likely to carry it--but do ask the
dealer first--that sounds like a PITA to find!

 

You can just pull the wires out of the spot where they're melted into
the holder. This is the bulb you want:

Obviously, you want 12 or 14 volts. As far as I know, Radio Shack only
sells one bulb this physical size.

I bought some of these bulbs from my local Radio Shack last summer to
fix the switches on my S70 (same bulb, different holder), I took all
they had (3 2 packs, 6 bulbs), and as of just before Christmas, they
still hadn't restocked!

I got the bulbs from Radio Shack and installed them in the same holders.
All is working great. Thanks for your advice. FYI the Radio Shack part
number #7219 packs of 2 bulbs (12V 60ma)
