1935-37 Senior radio head bulb

Posted by Bob Supina On 2023/2/17 10:52:41

The bulb in the radio head is stamped MADE IN USA but mine does not have a number, but it looks just like a 1445 with a BA9s base.
The 1445 is a 12-14v which would work but debatable whether it would be as bright as a proper 6v bulb.
Notice that the filament of the original bulb is much smaller than the 1445.

1. Does anyone know the number of the original bulb?
2. Has anyone had any experience with replacing the original bulb with an LED?

Thanks for looking.

Bob
