Bulbs for SC816 Radio

Jan 03, 2005 5 Replies

I have removed the parts of the radio to get at the 5 bulbs on the circuit board. I removed one of the burnt bulbs to see if I could find replacements. Not successful so far. Does anyone know where I can purchase replacement bulbs? Does the dealer carry this part? Thanks for any help. Cheers, Mike


Radio Shack has them, without the holders, which you can reuse.

Think a electronics house would be more likely to carry it--but do ask the dealer first--that sounds like a PITA to find!

You can just pull the wires out of the spot where they're melted into the holder. This is the bulb you want:

Obviously, you want 12 or 14 volts. As far as I know, Radio Shack only sells one bulb this physical size.

I bought some of these bulbs from my local Radio Shack last summer to fix the switches on my S70 (same bulb, different holder), I took all they had (3 2 packs, 6 bulbs), and as of just before Christmas, they still hadn't restocked!
