It says on it: Stanley 8V0.15A


It's from an old Sony radio tuner.


Where, nowadays, can one find small bulbs like this?



Maplin still appear to do some - search on 'small bulbs'. My guess the 8
volts denotes it's rather under-run for long life - that's a pretty rare
actual voltage rail for any transistor stuff. But for this sort of use
something with about the same current draw will work ok - but may not last
as long.
