Need FM stereo bulb type for Technics ST-8600

[bobinaz]

Does anyone know the specs on the stereo indicator lamp for a technics st-8600 tuner? Thanks.

just found out via another post here: 6.3v 40ma

6.3V is a very unusual on Japanese gear. 8V is more common.

Any reason you can't measure it with a meter?

For the stereo and wideband lamp I use LED's from Mouser

Chicago Minature LED Standard PN: 4302H1-5V

Mouser 606-4302H1-5v

These solder directly onto the white leads (just hold them on to get the right polarity) use white heat shrink, plug right into the rubber like 5mm mount and they will run cool and last forever.

These are red LED diffused LED's with a typical 5 Fwd volt rating, Max 10 volt and 20 ma

Sorry about the wide band term (I use the same lamps in both ST 8600 and ST 9030 which has a auto wide band indicator)

I actually put in an 8v 40ma lamp I had. I had read a post here about the technics 7600 & 8600 tuners that someone said used a 6.3v lamp...... anyways the 8v worked OK.
