Need value for McIntosh 1500 stereo lamp
I need a value for a McIntosh 1500 stereo lamp.
It is part of the circuit so I am reluctant to put one of the wrong value in. I went to Radio Shack and found a 28V 40mA with a similar mini-bayonet fitting but McIntosh (who are otherwise usually very helpful) wouldn't tell me what the value was: They insisted that I could go to a wholesaler and buy a W1850 (which is what it says on the old bulb) Licensed to Quill |

Listed in this catalog: http://www.sunraylighting.com/pdf/Catalog.pdf There's also an 1850W version, which as far as I can tell is just a long-life variant on the same thing.

I probably have some available for sale or trade around here, I have 1000's
of NOS bulbs. it is $5 for the 1850, $8 for the W1850 (military industrial long-life version) , now I just need to locate them in this mess! the values a 5.0V ..09A ..45W wild bill "Licensed to Quill" wrote in message ...

The 1850 is listed at http://www.mouser.com/catalog/615/85.pdf and they give all the specifications. If you are in a hurry you could call a TV repair shop that has been in business for the last 30 years or so. They should have some around. Those bulbs were quite common in older TV sets to illuminate the channel selector, etc. It looks like the 755 could be a good replacement but YMMV. r -- "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

proletariat:
In your post you quoted: #1850 @ $5 #1850W @ $8 What quantity of lamps do I get for the price?? .... is that the box (10 lamps) price??

I think the "W" is a military designation, in which case it would be a lamp with all of the same specs, but possibly having a ruggedized filament and suspension. Wait, I just looked them up in my 1976 GE miniature lamp catalog, and see that they are, in fact identical in all respects except the 1850 has a note that says: "Plane of filament within 30 degrees of perpendicular to base pins". So it appears that the 1850 has a filament positioning spec that the 1850W does not have. Looks like you could use either type in your application.

Tweetldee:
....... also, one of my catalogs indicate the "W" is as you said, the military version, but it adds "extended life" to the note. -- Best Regards, Daniel Sofie Electronics Supply & Repair - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Tweetldee" wrote in message I think the "W" is a military designation, in which case it would be a lamp with all of the same specs, but possibly having a ruggedized filament and suspension.

Many thanks: Yes, that is the one. It says it is a 5 volt (so the 14.4 volt
and the 28 volt Radio Shack ones I have been given WON'T work properly) It says it has some specific lumen value which I cant believe can be relevant but also says curiously that it is rated at .000 amps whatever that means Licensed to Quill "Rich Andrews" wrote in message .44...

Yes I kept repeating my V = I over Rs and the software kept telling me that
I had a potential perpetual motion machine OR was I running in a liquid nitrogen enviromnent? "Fred Nachbaur" wrote in message ... My father's son wrote: Many thanks: Yes, that is the one.
