ATJD Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Hi all. I noticed the tweeter wasn’t working in my Goliath jr 2 cab and discovered a failed limiter Bulb in the crossover circuit. Having struggled to find a direct replacement, I sourced some 12v 10w Osram bulbs from RS components. These bulbs have an 8mm holder whereas the original is 10mm. So I decided a simple fix would be to take the 10mm holders off the original and solder them onto the Osram bulbs. This has got my tweeter working again, but if anyone could point me to a UK source of original bulbs, that would be much appreciated. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 If there are any numbers on the original bulb, put them into an Evilbay search and you'll probably find a few sources that will ship a couple for not much cost. I did this recently to replace a missing mains fuse and holder on an old SWR. From memory, those were common USA auto indicator bulbs?

BassBod Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Looks like 211-2 are the magic numbers, 12v or 24 Sylvania. Don't use the modern LED version! Edited November 28, 2019 by BassBod more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATJD Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 Thanks again for your input! The searches I’ve put in for the 211-2 bulb all take me to the USA!!!! Just wondered if anyone knew of a UK source. I’m hoping my bodge is going to last. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I’ve never blown one, but did have a broken fuse holder, many years ago. I’d get a few of the old Sylvania ones posted from the US, as it looks like the LED versions are rapidly taking over - better auto bulbs, but no good at looking after your tweeter 😳 Might be worth contacting Marshall as they own Eden these days, and all the old Eden cabs used the same fuse (they designed and built the early SWR cabs). They probably have a few somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATJD Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 That’s a fantastic suggestion, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATJD Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Have contacted Marshall and they have the Eden limiter bulbs in stock for £1.50 each so I bought 3!!!! Thanks again for your help and input. Hope this helps other people too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
