Hello:

My Nordmende Globetraveler Pro service manual indicates that the shortwave dial drum bulb is rated at 7 volts and 0.35 amperes. It is a subminature wedge base European style bulb.

From my research, it appears that this bulb is no longer available.

However, 6 and 12 volt subminature wedge base bulbs (in varying different amperages) are still available online from various sources. Can anyone suggest a suitable alternative (bulb make and model number) given that the original bulb is no longer available?

It would be accpetable to me if the bulb is a little too dim or bright. However, I do not want the bulb to burn-out frequently or to have the bulb draw too much current and possibly damage other electrical components of the radio.

The radio operates on 7.5 volts (5 D Cell batteries) and the dial light automatically turns-on if the radio is plugged-in to AC power or if an external AC-DC adapter is used.

I now have two Globetraveler Pro radios plus a Globetraveler III that all use the same bulb for the shortwave drum. They are late TN6000 series radios built during 1969-1970.

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
