Well, now that is a story! It is a #74 bulb (found out in this forum...) and some people have had mixed sucess with replacement. For $3.00 for two bulbs I thought what the heck, I'll give it a try. Clock came out easy. Bulb socket carrier came out easy. Bulb came out with a little Help. :-)
Problem... The clips for the bulb are crimped on to the bulb wires and were not letting go... So I get out my trusty soldering iron...
Nope! Whatever the coating is on the metal clips, did not work.
I figure I have it out, now what are you going to do?
So I droped some 'goop' in the bottom of the socket, bent the wires to touch, and pushed the bulb in there...
It's still working. When it dies, I'll call Bill Jenkins at get a real replacement!
