Title: Looking for light bulbs for Peterson amp
Post by: JustCar on October 01, 2015, 11:30:55 AM
Can anyone recommend somewhere to get reasonably priced #19 miniature light bulbs for the vibrato section of a Peterson pre amp?

I found some on Amazon but they are rated at 14.4V and the preamp requires 24V.

It seems hard to find ones actually rated for 24V.

Any ideas?

Thanks! Justin

Search for GE #19 bulbs, and they're also readily available at Vintage Vibe:

Thanks for that!
It seems that any of the ones I find are 14.4V and I wonder if the Vintage Vibe ones are too. They don't specify.

Although Mike has some, here was my list when I was looking for them:

Vintage Vibe sells them but for $5 a piece, I bought mine from there and they worked so I'm happy with that - http://www.vintagevibe.com/products/ge-19-bulbs?variant=1084761123

Alternatively this link was posted ages ago: http://www.ebay.com/itm/No-19-Mini-Bi-2-Pin-12-14-v-Vintage-USA-Radio-Dial-Train-JukeBox-Lamp-Light-Bulb-/310826996472?pt=US_Light_Bulbs&hash=item485ebb92f8

Free shipping on these: http://www.amazon.com/19-Miniature-Light-Bulb-Pack/dp/B00BQ0CZNI apparently high defect rate though

Thanks!
I went for the ones on Amazon. Figured it would be handy having a few extra lying around.
We'll see if they do the trick.
