KT-5500 Bulbs

Picked one of these up today and all bulbs are out.

Anyone know what the replacement bulbs are? How about a service manual.

Thanks for any help.

The bulbs are 8V, 300mA. All three are in series, so if one goes, none light. But you won't find 300mA lamps easily, so use the 250mA lamps (but because they are in series, you will have to replace all three so that they are the same).

Wedge base?? :scratch2:

The stock are wedge, but Kenwood used a tiny crimp to connect the wire to the lamp leads rather than struggle with trying to solder or use a socket like some Pioneer receivers.
