I put a picture of it at:

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.

To e-mail, change noise into sound.

Its known as tubular MES (for miniature edison screw)... also knows as
T3.1/4... now the voltage looks a bit unusual, and if you are looking for a
suitable lamp 0.15A is the same as 1.2W
