Pioneer SX-440 Need a Source for Pilot Lamp Sockets - captainclock1988 - 03-30-2021
Hello Everyone Recently I was given a Pioneer SX-440 Stereo Receiver and two of the original pilot light sockets were broken in the unit and I'm trying to source some new sockets and so far I'm not having any luck, do you guys have a source for the screw-base clip-in light sockets that have the 2 solder tabs on the back of the socket?
The Socket I need looks like the one seen below.

A website called MerryTunes which is owned by an antique radio parts supplier based out of Ontario, Canada had these light sockets at one time (NOS ones) but they're sold out.

Saw these: https://www.shellhoaf.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=187062 But not sure if the but size will fit the bulb that is the oem to the Pioneer. Research needed.

Yes, those are it! Thanks Terry! I'll see if I can order some.
UPDATE: They wanted to charge me $25 for shipping just to ship 3 light bulb sockets that only weighed less than an ounce!
So that's out of the question.

One of these might be able to work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/10PCS-E10-Mini-LED-Bulb-Socket-Student-Physics-Experiment-Screw-Base-Small/265108118293?hash=item3db9acdb15:g:9HoAAOSwXRxgZVoi or https://www.ebay.com/itm/363268433183?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-213727-13078-0&mkcid=2&itemid=363268433183&targetid=4581115207299966&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=410488083&mkgroupid=1240249342222958&rlsatarget=pla-4581115207299966&abcId=9300488&merchantid=51291&msclkid=597f0a2870c914c7e7c16a474313c28b

Nope, none of those will work. There needs to be a mounting clip, those don't have a mounting clip.

Maybe Sal's has something you could use. Can you convert to a bayonet bulb?

Well Kestas, the socket I could of used that he had, was out of stock according to his website!
Socket A, in the picture you posted from Sal's, was the light socket I could of used, but Sal's said on his website that he was out of those sockets, so I don't know what to say.

Would these work?

RE: Pioneer SX-440 Need a Source for Pilot Lamp Sockets - captainclock1988 - 04-10-2021
Yes those would work Elliot, where did you find those on the Parts Express website? I looked everywhere on their website and didn't find anything...
Edit: Just looked at the bottom of the page and it says " no longer available" ?
RE: Pioneer SX-440 Need a Source for Pilot Lamp Sockets - Eliot Ness - 04-10-2021
Sorry about that, I was using my phone and didn't see they were "no longer available"
I found them by doing a Google search for "clip on bayonet bulb socket."
RE: Pioneer SX-440 Need a Source for Pilot Lamp Sockets - captainclock1988 - 04-10-2021
It's ok, it's weird though that no one has any light sockets like that available or makes any light sockets like that brand new...
RE: Pioneer SX-440 Need a Source for Pilot Lamp Sockets - captainclock1988 - 04-21-2021
Well a little update, I was finally able to find some sockets for my SX-440, I found a listing on ePay that had some Bayonet sockets from an SX-1500 receiver (which is from the same line of receivers as the SX-440 is) for $19.99 and $4.00 shipping. So I Should be able to finally get this thing up and running again soon.
