My CD-400B seems to be working fine, but it would look prettier if the power light came on. Anyone know what type of bulb that is? It looks like an old-model automotive fuse.

Hi Ddej, I`m going through the same thing right now, trying to locate the strange little lamps for my unit.
I have had success with the local electronics supply warehouse.
Possibly you have a similar outlet in your area that wholesales to electronic repair shops.
I would try the Yellow Pages and go from there.
By the way, stopped at a Radio shack but they didn`t carry those types of lamps.
HTH, andy

It sounds like you are describing a "fuse lamp". Check MCM Electronics on the web and search for "fuse lamp". It should have the voltage stampe on the end cap. The last time I ordered from them there was no minimum order for orders placed on the web (haven't ordered lately, so it could have changed). Let me know what you find, I may be able to help further.
 
I'm working on a CD-400B, and either the radar lamp is out or there's an issue with the demodulation circuit. I only have one quad disc, but playing it did not cause the light to illuminate. Anyone know the specs for this bulb?

Thanks all. I desoldered the bulb to test it, and it's fine. The problem was likely my lack of a quad appropriate stylus when playing the record I have. When I instead injected a 30kHz signal from my oscillator, the bulb lit up.
