timing light

Just bought a used timing light at a swap meet for $10. Seems to be working, but there is no light coming out. I figured the bulb is done. can i replace it? if so where do i get the parts?

 

I replaced a bulb in one years ago. We'll need the make & model of the light, and whether or not the bulb itself has any ID on it.

Here ya go

The timing light is all chrome, this is the only tag on it, and it reads.

MAC TOOLS (logo).
MODEL TL 65 .
TALLMADGE OHIO.
6/12 V. SER NO. 0981692.

Hope that helps.

 

I'll do some searching. In the meantime, what has Mac Tools told you?

I was trying to search the model on their site, without luck. Havent contacted them directly, i bought the light used from a swap meet. The bulb appears to be a U shaped thing, with wires soldered into the ends, and a point at the bottom of the U.

 

Azeem, no luck with my search either. I hope Mac can come through for you.

Most of those , if you ever drop them will not work. It is usually cheaper to just buy a new one.

 

Azeem - It will probably cost as much to repair it (if it's repairable), as it would to replace it with a new Sears Craftsman 'Dial Back' for about $50 - but you'll hafta get one in the US of A, as Sears Canada doesn't carry them. o No: :TU:
