Re: President Adams s meter bulb
I would say 14V to keep bulb alive longer.

Re: President Adams s meter bulb
Just don't buy them off Radio Tr**** for £7.99 each!!!! You can get about 10 for that.
And I'm glad to see you're not sticking an awful, retina-bursting LED in its place Retro looks rule!

Re: President Adams s meter bulb
The bulbs are 14v 40mA. 12v will not last as long maybe. Or use a warm white 3mm LED with 680 to 1k resistor in series. They look nearly identical.

I won't be, so you'll be glad to hear that I won't still be going on about Fidelity 1000's in 40 years time
