[Hallicrafters] Pilot Lamps

[Rich Oliver]

Ken et al,

The 1891 is rated for 14.0 Volts at 240 ma for 500 hours; the 1892 is 
14.4 Volts at 120 ma for 1000 hours.  I tried switching to long life 
bulbs (756's, as I recall) in my TR-7 and found that they do indeed last 
a long time if left alone, but they become very fragile and the 
filaments break from the slightest shock.  That means you have to change 
the bulb every time you take the covers off or even just move the rig, 
so I switched back.  Now I'm thinking of switching to LED's.

73, Rich, KC9GQ
