Sony ICF-310W Digimatic Bulb Replacement

[Ethan Bowering]

Hi all,

I just inherited a nice Sony flip clock:


I was able to clean and oil the motor and get it working again, as well as repair a cracked gear. Everything is working, except for the bulb. I'm not sure what I should be looking for to replace it. The bulb says "STANLEY" on it and nothing else. I measured 5.7V ac across the leads after removing the bulb:



Not sure if this is helpful, but I found this picture of one with a working bulb online:


The closest I have found is https://miniatronics.com/collections...6v-40ma-10-pcs, but it will cost me over $50 after shipping. Does anyone have any recommendations for sourcing a replacement? I am in Canada.

Thanks!

Did you determine the voltage of the bulb? If not clearly marked, you could measure the voltage going to the bulb.

5.7V AC going to the bulb from its leads
