So I have the Sansui 5050 and I want to replace the dial pointer light because i'm getting a restoration done very soon and need to know where can I buy the dial pointer light to replace it I like ebay, amazon, digikey, mouser, and maybe a few others but the light still works but does flicker sometimes when the unit was used, anyway I will replace it if you can post a link to the new dial pointer light it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. I think we need more data, or a pict, to give you some advice. Or, post this question at the Sansui sub forum.
 
I recommend you contact AK member @dgwojo. He's the go to guy around here for replacement lamps. He knows what fits what and usually has them in stock. I've bought several lamps from him, including "wheat" lamps for the dial pointers for a couple vintage Pioneer receivers (SX-525 and SX-737). They come with leads attached and even a bit of solder. All you need to provide is the soldering iron and the labor and you're good to go.
 
Wery,wery carefully. Keep hot and sharp objects away from the dialcord.KEY!!!
