CK's TR6 Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Yes, I know that americans aren't bright enough to know which knobs are who (I mean which) without a sign, but, if you have a TR6 wherein the plinth was broken out at the mount holes, here is my video on the repair. As for the whole assembly, I will have a working prototype in 2 weeks and will post pictures of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Stephenson Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Were you able to make copies of th heater control plinth? Are they for sale and at what prive? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AarhusTr6 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hi I have one of these, bit broken at the back, but it works. however I cannot for the life of me find the bulb housing for it. I have tried everywhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CK's TR6 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 I made 10 plinths, form fit replacement but different too. They all have been purchased. I am not making the repair part anymore. I will be making 5 more plinths at some point in the future. No definitive time though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DRD Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Does anyone know where you can get the bulb holder from. I bought something similar from Classic LED but the bulb is quite a loose fit and only works intermittently. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 The bulb base looks like it would fit a Christmas tree fairy light 12V filament bulb holder. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 This one, or is it too fat? https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product/699/category/81 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I agree with the above. I too think the original bulb is described as a Lucas L 286 T5 capless bulb see here. http://www.lucaselectrical.co.uk/downloads/lucas-bulb-wallchart.pdf next challenge is the bulb holder. This is as close as I can find. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Quality-T5-286-or-T10-501-capless-Pre-Wired-Light-Bulb-LED-Socket-Holder-UK/202246378593?hash=item2f16d2d461:g:CzUAAOSwJ-xc0Ee9 Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
