Hi.

The bulbs used in such radios may be either 6 or 12 volts. 6 Volt types are
connected as pairs in series. These bulbs are also used in car stereos here
in the UK, and are easily found in electronic component stores here. You
could try such shops, but be aware that the bulb length should not be too
great... some are longer than others.
I find it hard to believe that, if it is a faulty bulb, a shop cannot get
one anywhere.


Regards,

Peter.
