Lamp holder replacement

SX-1280, SX-1980, SX-x80, SX-x50 Lamp / wedge bulb holder / socket replacement Well, they came in today, and I tried them out. Replacement lamp holders for the problematic white (yellow) plastic wedge bulb socketed lamp holders that fit into the clear plastic "acrylic board" light pipe. The socket's ears get brittle and break off. Some people RTV the sockets in, others have come up with other innovative DIY solutions. Mouser part number 560-2964 @ $1.25 ea as an alternate, in case of out of stock Mouser part number 560-2964-6B @ 1.01 ea with slightly shorter leads (152mm vs. 203mm) made by JKL components. Fits like a glove!!! I am VERY happy!! (That is a busted sx-1980 light pipe, but the dimensions are the same for the x80 and x50 series, perhaps others)
