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.
