Lamp Socket Types

Anyone know of a web site that describes the various lamp socket types, bayonet, wedge, etc.?

My Google-Fu is weak today.

I’m looking for the name of a lamp used in '83 Wurlitzer jukeboxes. These lamps look like fuses with pointy ends.

And why would one put lamps in series with an amplifier’s output?

I don’t know the specific title but I had dozens of these from a Wurlitzer-type organ I dismantled. They were also popular as interior lighting in cars, there were quite a few in my Volvo 265.

In series with the amp output - they would vary in brightness depending on the output voltage. Wouldn’t enhance the audio by very much I presume?

They’re not for display, being inside the cabinet.

Can’t imagine then - low value resistors perhaps but hardly a conventional solution.
Could be to help the Gremlins find their way around the dark interior :slight_smile:

Sylvania.com. Click on product catalogs, automotive. Click on search, enter 212-2. This is a bulb of the type you are describing. You can then click on the figure # to see it.

If that sylvania link Omegaman provided doesn’t have what you need try Bulb Direct. I’ve gotten all kinds of strange old bulbs from them before.
