Meter Lamps..
I know there have been many q's on what's being used... But does anyone have a 'current' link for replacement lamps for my Cobra 2000 GTL.. I'm not one for messing with radios.. Just straight forward replacements old style and led options..
Thanks for any help..

Re: Meter Lamps..
Any 12V grain of wheat bulb 3/4mm , 40 -70mA works fine for me J .

Re: Meter Lamps..
You can get a pack of 10 on eBay from something like £2.25, from UK sellers.

Re: Meter Lamps..
Make sure that what you buy is the same mA rating as the original, too high an mA and you'll melt the meter.

Re: Meter Lamps..
Shouldn't really be an issue with the 2000 GTL as you could move them back a bit . Saying that don't go sticking in any 10A bulbs just in caseTim wrote:Make sure that what you buy is the same mA rating as the original, too high an mA and you'll melt the meter.

Re: Meter Lamps..
I've seen some signal meters with a 12V Christmas tree lights bulb fitted!, easy to tell as they are pointed and much longer and the soldered on wires are quite something else.

Re: Meter Lamps..
Not seen a Christmas tree light in a meter for years. One of the favourite tricks around here seems to be fitting Video lamps.

Re: Meter Lamps..
I used white leds in a radio that had bust meter lamps, they looked ok but were a bit too bright.

Re: Meter Lamps..
I use the warm while LEDS. Look like standard bulbs, but with all of the advantages of an LED.

There is no such thing as a Fidelity 1000 which is too good to scrap.
