Title: FUSE LAMP FOR FT 101
Post by: KL7OF on March 14, 2014, 01:31:34 PM
An internet search for this bulb shows that I'm not the only one looking for this........No joy on finding a source.....16 volt .15 amp  bayonet base....ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO BUY THESE BULBS??
I have 3 ft101s and no fuse bulbs left....I wonder if there is a substitute??

Looks like Pete beat me to it, I was going from my GE reference sheet.

I expect the readily available #53 bulb rated 14.4V .12 A would be a good replacement.  More importantly how are you going through so many of these fuse bulbs?  A change in operating practices is advised ;)

Thanks guys...
I traded for a 101 and the lamp fuse and cover was missing from that one...I was given a junker chassis and that one had no fuse lamp....I did blow the one good working one by leaving it hooked to an antenna whilst transmitting on the antenna above it........doh!
