  • ampeg 410hlf classic crossover bulbs

    does anyone know of a US based source for these, 36v 54w bayonet bulbs used in ampeg crossovers, I know loud technology has them, but at near $40 and I imagine a long wait to get 2 of them to me from accross the pond, I'm looking for a cheaper quicker solution.

    Wait, what? LOUD is in Europe, when did that happen? And I thought Ampeg was sold to Yamaha? I'm always the last to know.
    It's weird, because it WAS working fine.....

      Across the pond? Loud is a US company and your profile says Indiana?
      Last time I called Loud for these, I think it took less than a week and they were around 2 bucks a piece.

        I wouldn't doubt LOUD has a presence in Europe. I was for a long time under the impression they were a multinational corporation perhaps based in eastern Asia. Not so. Apparently the formation of LOUD happened early 2000's at the time Mackie bought St. Louis Music (Ampeg + Crate). Like everything, LOUD company history is in Wikipedia. And Ampeg is now part of Yamaha. Nothing is like it was, the world's turning upside down. I read it on the interwebs so it must be true! Read up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOUD_A...t._Louis_Music
        This isn't the future I signed up for.

          I appreciate pointing out my lack of knowledge on what company owns what brands, I did a search for the part number and the loud technology website that kept coming up was out of belgum, I guess the are just "Loud" here in the US after searching again, and I had no idea Yamaha owned the brand now, I've been out of audio equipment repair for several years, you'll have to forgive my ignorance.

            Yes, the company head office may be anywhere, but since USA is *THE* Market, I am certain they will always have a beeg warehouse in there.

            Which should stock parts and consumables such as bulbs.

            IF they were unavailable I would look for *any* bulb with same electrical characteristics, meaning same voltage and power, *hopefully* same socket or mounting; if not would kludge some adapter.

            But if you can easily find the original one, go for it.

              I don't mind modifying it to use something else if I have to, I haven't done an extensive search or tried calling ampeg or anywhere else yet as I just found them blown yesterday after business hours, but internet searches haven't turned up much so far, me being out of doing repairs for so long I don't know where to look, who owns what, etc other than googling part numbers.

                Part number won´t match but important parameters will

                https://www.bulbtown.com/CE17_MINIAT...ASE_p/ce17.htm

                Before nitpicking, 36W and 40W is the same,within 10% of power and 5% of current (which is the important parameter).

                  well I have to apologize again, it is not a bayonet style (that's what I get for going with the first thing I read) These look like an older automotive dome light bulb, but the specs I posted look to be correct 36volt 54watt (1.5amp)

                    Heck I didn't know until I wiki'd it. I was operating without a clear knowledge of who's zoomin' who, at least in the LOUD universe, for the better part of 20 years, until looking it up. So... now we know, and on we go, let's hope we can get our gear fixed.

                      Ouch!!!
                      Usual bulbs are exactly like car dome lights , with conical metallic ends,which clip on a suitable socket.

                      I bet vibration unseated them or caused reliability problems so now they got the pigtail version and solder them into the PCB.

                      Plus vibration proofing them with some suitable adhesive or sealant.

                      I guess you´+ll have to search for the same, *OR* screw a bayonet socket to the cabinet insides and wire it to crossover holes.

                      I had mis searched for a 36W bulb, will try 54W next but you search too

                        As anyone in theater will tell you, those are lamps, not bulbs.

                        Google "Ampeg crossover lamps" and they will come up.

                              If you know of an autoparts place with an old timer working there (other than the usual 'chimps' who will just ask for make & model ), show it to him and I bet he'll find you one.
