Dial lamp for RCA 2X61
10/2/2007 10:24:58 PMSteve
I am looking for dial lamps for the RCA 2X61. The lamps are Mazada type 1490 3.2 volts .15 amps. I have looked at Antique Electronic Supply and Radio Daze. Neither has this. Any suggestions where to get these? Would it be okay to replace them with another dial lamp?
Thanks,
Steve

You shouldn't use other lamps. In a radio like this two lamps will be in series along with tubes drawing .15 amps filament current.

Radios like this usually have a #47 lamp rated 6 volts @ .15 amps. Since you have two in series both should be rated 3.2 @ .15 amps.

I buy 1490's from www.bulbdirect.com .
