Tuning scale lamp for a Sansui tuner - advice needed
I bought a Sansui TU-S5 tuner as much for its looks as anything, as it has to live in the lounge and be easy on the eye. It worked well for a day then the bulb that illuminates the edge of the tuning scale failed and some of the beauty has gone, dammit.
Trouble is replacing it - I am unclear what its voltage is and then its wattage. My volt meter says 20v AC across the poles of the power supply that feeds it, but 1v DC as well. How can this be? What is the bulb type? I attach some pix and if any one can shed some light (haha) on this I would be grateful.
The broken filament can clearly be seen. Sometimes with a suitable tap I get it to light again briefly. It is about 4mm diameter by about 10mm plus a bit of silicone sheathing.
With light on:
