[TenTec] solid-state lamps for TT Centurion amp

[Rick Williams]

Steve I'd be curious to see how these lamps perform.  I looked at similar
drop in replacements but I was concerned that the beam width would be too
narrow to illuminate the Ten-Tec meters.  Most of the light would go
straight up rather than at 90 degrees towards the meter back.

Keep us posted!

I am purchasing one each of Chicago Miniature Lamp part #
1860225W3D and # 1860225W3 (from Mouser).

These are listed as drop-in replacements for the #756 lamp.

I will try them out in my Centurion amplifier (the same bulb is used
in the Hercules II and perhaps other TT models) and report back to the
list what I learn.  At ~$10 each, you have to be sure what to buy!
