The openings they fit into are ~11/16" (1.7cm)



It looks very similar to the bulb holders used by Heathkit for
illuminating
their meters e.g on the SB220 amplifier.

A similar type of fitting was used for car dash board lamps on some
British
cars until about the 1990's. May still be used on some models.

A trip to the local car breakers may be worthwhile.


Normally I would agree with you on that, having gotten a lot of good parts
from the auto wreckers in the past, but here in Korea, there really are no
cars older than about 1984, when they first began to allow POV's. Almost all
of the existing ones are Korean made and have the newer style dash lamp
holders that are plastic and twist into the hole in the dash and make their
connection in this manner.
