[QUOTE="leonsound, post: 69233, member: 1295"] Thanks for all the advice - I'll see if I can track down the Omega Electronics. I just spent the morning visiting about 5 electronic places in Voortrekker street from Goodwood to Parow, no luck anywhere! So now I've employed a technique I last used 25 years ago in my grandfather's clock radio: Step 1) Get hold of all the broken Christmas light strings kept for spares Step 2) count number of lights on each string to calculate bulb votage Step 3) choose most appropriate bulbs Step 4) in this case, put 2 x 4.8V bulbs in series to get close to the 8V of the original Step 5) Make it fit. So right now it's working fine, maybe a little dim. Now to make a plan for the radio dial cord that some vaguely remember but none stock anymore either... Cheers Leon [/QUOTE]
