Title: 1.5VDC Flying lead lamp
Post by: tintoyboy on February 27, 2006, 03:13:09 pm

Hi,
I am looking for (4) OEM lamps known as Flying Lead. Sunray used to carry them as of 2004 but I can't locate any dead stock of these.

They are about 5MM X 6MM and utilize the tiny brass base as a ground and 2 insulated wire leads to provide an alternating DC current that mimics a sort of strobe effect. The alternating current (not AC) is supplied via a rotating stator and brush set-up.

These were used in an old 60's era tin lithograph toy Lin-Mar Boeing 707 jet. The lamps were housed in the translucent red plastic engine housings and with the flick of a switch, simulated the effect of the jet engine starting by flashing about 5X a second.

I tried using grain of wheat but they just stay lit w/o flashing. (also tried tying 2 legs together as a ground & each remaining leg to each lead, no luck.)

I may be able to use LED but the flash rate & the need for bright white light to penetrate the red housing would probably preclude that.

Any ideas guys?
I can email you a photo of the original if it would help.

Thanks,
Bob
