Thank you Kobi, but the socket here is not bayonet, is screw, and seems been for a "big" lamp (a little big than the usual miniature lamps), not miniature!! best,

So it must be a modification, since the diagram says 51. Could it be a so called "candelabra base" E12? (not popular here).
Sorry, |

Dear Vitor and Kobi, According to the Rider's tech data for the GE models 201, and 202 - they identify the items peculiar to the models 201 and 202. . . . .all other items are as depicted on the Rider's schematics data sets for the 200. 203, and the 205. On page 3 of the Riders volumes, the tech data sheets for GE models 200. 203, and 205 is shown the PI (pilot indicator) lamp in the heater string. The PI depicts rating of 105-125 Volts with AC-DC. On page 4, the list of parts identifies the lamp as: GE type C7, 115 volts, 10 watts, clear candelabra, screw base NOTE: On page 7, the parts are listed again for the models 200, 203, and 205 and the same data is listed It is most regrettable that Vitor "sacrificed" 3 good lamps to act as a "flashbulb", to find out the lamp consumes so much energy - almost as though GE wished to offer a combination radio/night light. The following web site provides one of the most comprehensive listings of lamps (bulbs): http://www.donsbulbs.com/ Respectfully, Robert. |

Dear Vitor, There is a merchant who sells some of the Singer sewing machine lamps in C7 shape for $1.63 each (they are 120V 10watt) and the shipping is free. If they will not ship free to Europe, please advise me and I will buy 10 and send you a few to ensure the authenticity of your radio. www.joann.com/catalog.jhtml Tomorrow morning I will make phone call to the merchant to inquire about details. There is a Hancock fabrics merchant near my home, and they sell the "frosted glass", Singer type 2120, C7 lamp in the 120Volt 10Watt rating, and the lamps are listed as "long life". Price is the lowest I have seen at $1.59 each - please advise. Respectfully, Robert |
and not screw in the socket (anyway the socket seems to be the same size), but the type of screw socket is not the same! End of forum contributions about this model
