41-680 bol changer
#1

Hello I’ve got a 41-680 with a beam of lite changer 4 wires are coming out of the tone 
Arm two come from the sensor to rca jack mounted on terminal strip along with two screw terminals one has black wire with spade lug theses go to the lite there’s no wire from radio to run the lite. I am wondering what voltage the lamp runs at is it filament voltage?
Lamp is good shows resistance.
Forrest.

I think you mean a 41-608?
The lamp is powered from the bottom winding on #9.
You'll need a rf volt meter to measure it.

workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

Hello,
Thank you terry for the reply yes it is a 41-608 sorry about that, yes I figured it out got the lamp lit and it lasted about 45 seconds and went out. I guess there no longer available I’m going to try building a rectifier off the filament supply to run a #47 bulb
Radiorich I’ve never heard of something like that how old is it?

Might give a #55 lamp a try.
