Replacing Vintage Lights


I just picked up a vintage yamaha cr-440 for a third system. A couple of the lights are burnt out. Any ideas about where I could go or who I could talk to in order to find out what kind of replacement bulbs I should be looking for? Thanks.

yep,sure do,either unsoldier or unplug the burnt bulb & take it to a tv repair shop,ive had nothing but good luck with my tv repair shop matching up bulbs from modern & vintage equipment alike.

the best part about dealing with a tv repair shop instead of a hifi repair shop is that you will not pay outrageous prices for a 10 cent bulb.

example.

i has a mcintosh mc150 amplifier rebulbed at my local hifi shop,the cost was $140 & i had to leave it for 8 days to be rebulbed.

2 months later i bought another mcintosh mc150 amplifier that needed rebulbing but this time i took it to my tv repair shop,the cost was less than $20 & they did the repairs while i waited.

another good spot to look is an industrial electrical supply house,the one near me stocks allmost every bulb ive ever needed.

I have replaced several of my burnt out lights with LED's. But you have to measure the voltage for the lamps, then use Ohm's Law to figure out what series resistance to use. With Led's you can also choose color. I like the blue ones - replaced the lights in a Yamaha C-4 Preamp with Blue LED's - looks great...
