Hey Guys
I'm looking to replace the pilot bulb on my Hot rod as it seems to be fused...
Ive had a look on the net and it seems to be a #47 Bayonet bulb.
Do any of you know where I would be able to source one?
Ive tried the local music store, Brights, Yebo electronics, and MIDAS with no luck.
Thanks for the help!
cheers

I'm also looking for a bulb for my Twin. Nothing locally that I could find, so I'm waiting for someone to do a shared order from Mojo or similar.

That sounds like a good idea. I will let you know if I manage to come right. Cant understand why its so difficult to find her in SA, in the US it seems like quite a common part. ???

I was thinking, it's a 6.3V bulb, so I wonder if a motorcycle place wouldn't have stock of something? #47 is right, but I've also chased up a part number DEG015 (which I think is an Avner Kopp PN). Mouser come up with pages of the damn things, but ordering from the US is prohibitive for such a small item.
Actually, I'm being an idiot. I should just ask Graeme if he can source some locally - he has contacts. Graeme?

I'm picking up a pair from Fender on Friday. R70 for a pack of two. You want one?

I could have sworn this was going to be a "how to I replace the gigantic spotlight jewel eye spoiling the front of my Fender amp" discussion...

Ah Alan Your a lifesaver! That would be great!! Pack of two please ?
@Jack flash, I've actually come to like how they look.
Alan, give me a PM and then we can arrange, maybe I can meet you somewhere?
Thanks again.

Hi Guys Just ordered in a 10 pack with a bulk order of various items. I certainly would not need all 10 so if anyone needs one give me a shout. Cheers

Maybe i have a stupid suggestion, but wouldnt the pilot lights on some refrigerators / freezers be substitutes for the pilot lights you need?
