Title: Are the accent bulbs on the Row AMI CD100G #73 or #74?
Post by: fredw1970 on June 29, 2017, 10:34:58 pm

I need to replace a number of burnt out bulbs on my CD100G, but I don't remember if they are #73 or #74 bulbs?

I am thinking about swapping them out for LED's from superbrightleds.com but they are #74's and don't want to buy a bunch (I think I need 62) only to have them not fit. 

Also, in the case that any of the plastic bases stop working, do you know where I can get a new locking base?

Thanks!

Rowe uses #73 miniature lamps in the CD-100 series jukeboxes.

Thanks Ken... If I am swapping them for LED equivalents that say they are comparable to either #73 or #74 that should work right?  The only thing that appears different between the bulbs is the filament diameter and run time before failing.

The differences between 73 and 74 are minor, mainly in hours of life.

Thanks... I was considering putting in LED's but since most are directional they might yield the best visuals, unless I buy 360' LEDS, but at nearly $2.50 each and (I believe) 62 bulbs not sure I want to spend that kind of $$$.  I found some #73/#74 Halogens that might work well, brighter than the OEM bulbs.  Hoping they won't get too hot and melt the plastic..

a #73 bulb is 1.12W, the #74 is 1.4W slightly different light output but other than that, physically identical.

since you are going LED it doesn't matter a spit.
