Mga sir... Tanong ko lang kung may alam kayong nabibilhan ng bulb para dito sa receiver ko... para syang fuse pero it lights up the front panel(tuner)... fusebulb ata tawag eh... naghanap nako sa raon pero wala ako makita eh.. dun sa may mga vintage receivers baka meron kayo alam na store na nagbebenta nito.. tnx po...

ang alam ko halos lahat ng electronics shops merong generic replacement niyan, about P5 each. i'm based here in Davao and i still have spares of various sizes bought last year. if you have a tester, check the voltage of the lamp's line first para hindi mapundi agad. kung tama ang voltage at pumuputok pa rin, shorted ang lamp circuit ng receiver mo.

di naman sya shorted sir.. pero yung left side lang yung pundi na... i tried testing the other fusebulb from the other socket.. ok naman sya... kaya sa tingin ko.. ok naman at di shorted... try ko ulit tignan yung value the fusebulb then post ko dito.. tnx for the reply...

hi,
"peanut bulb " ang tawag dyan, just bring samples and it should be available in raon, best that you install a 1ohm, 5watt resistor in series witht that bulb so that it can last longer.

ok.. subukan ko yan sir... tnx

owners of vintage amps using pilot lamps can use this simple tweak of providing a series limiting resistor to the peanut bulbs and pilot lamps, the somewhat reduced illumination is a small price to pay in exchange for longer lamp life. the resistance value is not critical, you can start with 1ohm then increasing it to a point where the illumination is no longer to your liking.
