Tandberg TR 2025 2030 2040 2045 2060 lamps, full lighting kit incl. indicator

Description: Greetings fellow Tandberg collectors & enthusiasts! Keep your Tandberg receiver looking great & 100% original with my lighting kit. This listing is for a set of replacement lamps for the small-chassis Tandberg 2000-series receivers. You will receive 6 dial lamps and one dial indicator lamp, NOT an entire receiver (have to include that, yes it has happened!). You will also receive (via emailed pdf) a detailed, illustrated instruction sheet covering installation of the lamps. Tandberg earned a reputation for building rock-solid, super high-performance stereo receivers in the late 1970’s. These fine audio components were hand-assembled in Norway, and their tuners had sensitivity and noise rejection capabilities equal to some of the finest component tuners made. They had a beautiful sonic quality and were built to last a lifetime. This auction is for complete lamp replacement kit for the series of small-to-medium powered receivers Tandberg produced in this period: TR 2025 / 2025MBTR 2030 / 2030LTR 2040TR 2045TR 2060 / 2060LHuldra 12 The kit includes 6 new, frosted-white wedge-type dial lamps (two go behind the meters & four behind the tuner display), and a red replacement bulb with bare wires for the dial indicator (requires soldering to install). All of these match the original part specifications and install exactly as the originals did. These are matching bulbs for both the amber display models (like the 2060 shown in the first picture) and the earlier blue display models. The color difference is based on the tint of the plexiglas display panel. No stereo lamp is included, as that part is actually a standard red LED and almost never fails anyway. The bulbs shown in the picture are the actual parts you will receive. I will also mail you a detailed instruction sheet for replacing the bulbs, as shown. The Tandberg receiver & literature shown are not included. This kit is perfect for restoring the original look & feel of your vintage Tandberg receiver. It also includes ALL of the lamps you need, not just the dial lamps, plus it maintains the original look feel & warmth of the original Tandberg design. LED's are wonderful for some things but they don't deliver those same attributes. And, with lamps you don't have to worry about AC flicker or having to add components to filter it out. Comments on this kit from a satisfied buyer: "It's all pretty now! Just wanted to let you know that - thanks to you - I got the tuning indicator bulb in this evening and the 2060 is now singing out some beautiful Sunday evening jazz. The job wasn't as hard as I feared it might be. I followed your instructions and everything went together quite nicely." Note: If your receiver has been modified to accept non-original bulbs, you may have to reverse those modifications to use this lighting kit. I have sourced some wedge-base sockets that can be used to repair crumbling or removed original sockets and can add those to your purchase for an additional cost. They fit the PCB correctly so soldering them in place of the originals is easy, but the sockets are very slightly wider diameter at the front than the hole in the aluminum cross-member that they have to pass through. You can either shave the sockets down slightly to fit, or use a reamer or Unibit to enlarge the hole in the aluminum piece which is my preference. I currently offer a range of replacement parts for Tandberg audio products, including used spares from a number of models, and new parts such as these lighting kits for all TR-20xx receivers and TR-10xx receivers. Also offering replacement preset switches, memory batteries, and dial lamps for TPT-3001/3001A/3011/3011A tuners, and replacement lamps for cassette and open reel decks.Buyers, please note my shipping practices as follows: This auction is set up to reflect free domestic shipping, with no handling charges. I make every effort to find and use the lowest cost shipping method appropriate for your item, and refund surplus shipping paid whenever possible.Please remember that selecting the lowest cost shipping method also results in the slowest delivery - please do not leave low detailed seller ratings because of this fact! If you need the item faster, Priority Mail is a better choice. Please contact me if the shipping method you want is not offered in the listing. If that service is available for the particular item, I will revise & resend the invoice. I am not a full-time eBay merchant, but an experienced vintage audio enthusiast. I put many hours into supporting my customers and listings on eBay but am fitting all of that around a very heavy full-time work schedule. However, I always do my best to ship within the guidelines posted in my listings. In the case of larger items shipped overseas, USPS Priority is currently the lowest cost service available. DHL & UPS are much, much higher. I will use First Class Mail International where possible but it has a weight cut-off of 4 lbs. I use recycled packaging materials when I can, because I believe it is the environmentally sound thing to do. I also use new USPS Priority & other packaging materials to supplement the recycled materials where appropriate. I’m always very careful to make sure the item being shipped is properly protected regardless of the type of packing materials used. Please note that 4 star ratings while seemingly above average do not qualify me as an excellent seller by eBay's standards. If you feel that you can’t leave 5 star ratings in any of the four categories, please contact me to resolve whatever issue has caused you to feel that way. I am committed to meeting the highest customer service standards. Please keep the above in mind when you leave feedback. If you feel you cannot leave 5 star Detailed Seller Ratings, please contact me so I can resolve whatever issue you may have. Thank you for viewing my listing! © 2016, all rights reserved.
