[Kenwood] bulbs

Mon May 24 19:23:46 EDT 2004

I think they are Radio Shack 272-1092. I replaced one in my 940, and it is slightly dimmer than the originals, but is ok. I am referencing a catalog, don't recall the exact part I used.
272-1092 is a two-pack of 12 volt, 60ma microlamps. As I recall, I measured 7 volts across the bulbs in the 940.
Hope they still stock the item. They have dropped many parts from their inventory.

 I'm sure this question has been asked and answered many times on the
 reflector, but I failed to save it I guess. Anyway, I have a TS-940 and the
 lamps behind the clock/LCD display have finally gone out.
 I can't find any specs about voltage or current rating in my service
 manual. Can anyone tell me what the specs are and especially, what can be
 used for a replacement for them. Maybe something from Radio Shack??? I'm
 not sure they are still available from Kenwood or if they are pricey. Tnx
 for the help in advance!
