bulb question

[karma67]

i need to buy a replacement bulb,the original is a grain of wheat type,6v 35ma.
im having trouble buying a same spec bulb,i can get 6v but a lot are 60ma rating,can someone explain what the difference would be and if it will be ok to use ?
thanks.

It will be a bit brighter, or rather more light output.
If it is enclosed in something then the 60mA might get too hot, if not enclosed you should be OK.

cheers alan,it has a rubber holder around the bulb so that might be a problem,and theres me thinking it would be easy to get a bulb!

I would just scrap it now and save yourself some cash, give you £50 for the TT save you more grief

Hi Jamie,

There is a shop in Canada that stocks 35ma bulbs, albeit that's a bit of a pain...but this one is pretty close:

You could always replace the other bulbs with a brace of these, if the brightness difference is an issue.

Lovely turntable - great purchase - looks minty mint :)

Best

Paul.
