Default B&O Beomaster 1100 "lights out"

Hi,

I have just realized that my "almost new" B&O radio "is dark" as all of the tiny light bulbs are burnt out, all three of them. Took quite a while get access to the bulbs, and all I could find out is they are W2x4,6d socket type, no Volt/Watt or Amp indication legible. And, yes, I have not been able to locate the manual. Surely I will find it afterwards.

Can anyone tell me what signal lights I need - or does anyone have the schematic at hand?

Thanks,
Joe

No manual hidden inside the cabinet?

For Beomaster 1100 type 2609:

The 2 lamps that go into the tuning-balance indicator are 12V/30mA.
The 3rd. lamp, stereoindicator as I remember it, is 12V/1Watt.

The lamps are (were?) available in long-life versions and it's a VERY good idea to use these as the original types went fast.
Also you may be able to find 14Volt variants and then you should go for these.

Rgds,

Unfortunately not. Cabinet is too much said looking at the heap of plastic covers ...

@ Torben: Thank you very much! I will order those. With a little help from my reading glasses I think the original bulbs might have been stamped "12V30"

Regards, Joe
