Got a solid state Vox V1143 Beatle amp on the bench. Got amp functional, now onto details. Green pilot light for STANDBY works, red for ON doesn't. Looking down under the lens it looks like the bulb is soldered in place? The only replacements I see are $24. Is that the only option for these when a bulb goes out? I may just swap the STANDBY in for the ON, but would like to have both.

Schematic? Picture? What type of bulb is it? What voltage does it run on?"I took a photo of my ohm meter... It didn't help." Enzo 8/20/22 -
Plugging in the specs I found here (28V with .5" hole cutout):

I found this:

The other option would be to find a 28V bulb that will fit, dremel off the back of the existing indicator and insert a new bulb into the housing. You could even use an LED with dropping resistor in the existing housing. This all assumes your amp uses the type of indicator shown."I took a photo of my ohm meter... It didn't help."

Also, a 120V version should be easy to wire up.Originally posted by Enzo

Good research on the Digikey parts. $9 is probably acceptable to the customer. If he doesn't have an ON light I'm worried about the amp being left on for an extended period, and I don't want to try to fix this thing again!Originally posted by The Dude View Post

The schematic is here:

It shows the lamps run off of a -31V supply through a resistor. If you use an LED, remember to observe polarity for a negative supply.Last edited by The Dude; 10-26-2023, 02:31 AM."I took a photo of my ohm meter... It didn't help." Enzo 8/20/22Comment

Be really careful working on those power switches. The wafers for the speaker and pilot lamp switches will crack very easily.Comment
