Lite Bulbs

[rfitzpatrick]

Where can I find the old style lite bulbs, 6 volt, that screws into a socket. Not wanting the ones that slid&twist.

Thanks

What size of bulb? Do you have a part #?

Hmm, I don't remember ever seeing such an automotive bulb.

I've never seen them in automotive use either.But,that doesn't mean anything.There are thousands of things I never heard of until I do.i thought maybe they were for a lantern type light,I have some old fire department and Ray-O-Vac lanterns that use 6 volt bulbs,so I checked them.They all take a bulb with a plate,and a collar screws down over them.

It would help me if you were to list the use of such a bulb. Do you have a picture of the old one? Does this go into a turn signal?

They were used in some early car radios for a dial light.

Thanks and yes they were. I'm trying to find them as I'm working to install a radio controller and box in my PicUp. I've some other lite accesories I'd like to lamp. Nothing is being installed that can not be removed and returned to original.
Again Thanks Guys

Lists several 6V bulbs, difference is brightness. Behind the dial should be pretty dim - probably #372. Might be bigger - https://www.bulbtown.com/category_s/328.htm
