Title: WRL-champion-king light bulb.. Post by: ke7trp on December 18, 2009, 01:36:05 AM In the process of trying to fix my VFO on my Champion, the VFO lamp when out. This lamp is an odd size to me. Its about 5 to 6 inches long, Threaded end. Smaller then household but not small like a lamp for a Fan or fixture in your house. No idea of the wattage.. Its not listed. Only a WRL part number.
Any idea what my options are? Here is a picture of the lamp above the VFO box. Clark Title: Re: WRL-champion-king light bulb.. Post by: W7TFO on December 18, 2009, 02:05:27 AM Clark, I have a boatload of those, will bring you a couple Friday.
Anyone else that needs one let me know. Dennis Title: Re: WRL-champion-king light bulb.. Post by: Jim, W5JO on December 18, 2009, 07:39:50 AM Those things are called "Appliance Bulbs" and are available at your local Walmart. They range in size from ~15 watts to near 40. T6 @ 25 Watts is largest you should use because of heat. Lower wattage is preferable if you can find them.

Dennis, Your a life saver man! I want to put the champ back in service and the bulb will be the final part. When you comming by today? I have to go tune a race car on the dyno at noon. But will be back after that. Clark Title: Re: WRL-champion-king light bulb.. Post by: ke7trp on December 18, 2009, 03:59:21 PM W7TFO showed up with two brand new lamps for me.. Screwed one in and bingo.. up and running. I cant find these bulbs anywhere local. So a big thanks to Dennis!
