DC Bulb repair?
« on: June 11, 2002, 11:06:00 am »
I got some boxes 6v Ba15s bayonet brake light bulbs from the 50s that I'd like to use but found the anode tips to be britle and the bits in a few of the boxes. Anyway to repair these back onto the bulb? Conductive epoxy mix? Or just ignore? Any other tips (pun intended) or tricks?

would this be the center tip of the lamp that is rotted?
