The pilot lamp on my early 60s blackface Fender Princeton blew out. It says G-E 4 7 on it. Anyone know where I could get a replacement?

Radio Shack or any electronics store. Most music stores will have them also. #47 is a standard of the industry for tube electronics.

If you don't find one I will send you a couple.


I suggest you return the old bulb for warranty replacement, 40+ years is to short. I have three orginal lamps in a '49 Collins receiver that still work.

And it will never sound as good as the old one.
