Can anyone tell me what type of Scale Lamp is suitable for this Radio & also any suppliers.

Many thanks.

Service sheet says 6.5V 0.3A.

These are standard 6.3v @ 300mA. I use 100mA though as they seem easier to obtain and they are only very slightly dimmer. Check suppliers elsewhere on the main website although I got mine from Maplin.
