    Master 39 K

    Today I have acquired a Master 39 K.

    After a first check, it looks as if only the dial lamp is missing .

    The dial lamp has been replaced by a Philips deluxe 60W bulb.

    So now I am trying to find a dial lamp which is suitable for this set.

    I am aware that it is almost impossible to find a NOS beolit 39/40 dial lamp.

    Are there any alternitives, maybe a replacement lamp from another brand ?

    All suggestions are welcome.

    Re: Master 39 K

    Nice set !

    The dial lamp is mentioned in the service manuals as type "Master 39K".
    Lamps for the Master Deluxe 39K is mentioned as "Master Deluxe 39K".

    They are very similar but, I believe, different - or they would probably bear the same markings.
    The service manuals will provide more info - I will give it some more time tonight.

    While restoring a Beolit 39 recently, I located a new "Master Deluxe 39K" lamp but it didn't
    fit in the Beolit which uses a third type - which wouldn't fit in your set either.
    Differencies in the valve heater chain(s) are the main reason for this, a dial lamp is not just a dial lamp.

    I ended up building a homemade solution, consisting of three resistors to dissipate heat and drop voltage
    and 2x 110V halogen bulbs. Maybe you saw the thread here at Beoworld already.

    Yes, indeed, I saw the thread about the restoring of the beolit 39.
