Fisher receiver festoon bulbs -- LED options?

[monkboughtlunch]

Someone under the eBay handle "tubetycoon" appears to have bought up all inventory in the world of the rare Fisher Festoon receiver lamps. He sells them one set of bulbs at a time so folks bid them up. Supply and demand in action.

Since these bulbs are so rare and pricey, has anyone found an aftermarket LED replacement option for the festoon lamps? Is there an off the shelf festoon LED available that is a drop in solution?

I bought some LED replacements for all my 800C lamps a few years ago on ebay, the guy had a listing for antique radios and would build them any color you wanted, i believe i bought a soft white and was very happy with them.

TubeTycoon is actually FISHER DOC. He's not a guy you want to deal with, as a lot of people have had major problems with him in the past.

There are plenty of LED threads, both here and the Tube Forum. There is an AK'er (CKEELER) who makes custom LED pkgs that will plug into the 800-C, or any other receiver,tuner, etc.

Also eBay seller qua-co. They're represented as "warm white" color temperature but I found them to be a bit cool so I put a thin coat of TESTORS Amber Metallic enamel paint on them. That warmed them up.
