Has anyone here successfully replaced the front panel bulbs on a 650? I'm down to one working bulb - the one on the preselector dial. I ordered some bulbs from Mouser, and they are the correct size. But the base is just a tad too wide and they will not fit into the sockets. So I'm thinking of replacing the sockets. But I thought I'd ask here first if anyone knows a source of true replacement bulbs. According to this page: http://www.geocities.com/grundig_satellit/ they are OSRAM bulbs, 6-7 volt. Three of them are rated at 30ma, and one is rated at 80ma. The 30ma bulbs are Osram #2306. I don't know the number of the 80ma bulb. The bulbs I got from Mouser are Chicago Miniature Incandescent bulbs, 6.3V and 20ma. These were the closest I could find. Any ideas? Dan Have you considered white LED's? If you're concerned about keeping it original for collector purposes it's a bad idea, but they'll last a very long time. |
