Hi Folks, My power light red cover must have weakened over time and has come away from the chassis. The light still works. Can a replacement cover be purfchased? Please see pic

I'm in rep of Ireland ...we're on 220V ...would those lamps work on 220V AC?

If it has an export power transformer I'm not sure where you got it. Just glue it back together of find a old Marshall type lamp in England. Z

I'm in rep of Ireland ...we're on 220V ...would those lamps work on 220V AC? An authentic McGinty!! link for 6 volt light Fingers, There are two similar lights that get powered differently, one that is rated for 120 V and one that is rated for 6 volts. Being in Ireland makes the answer easy. You need to look for a 6 volt light that ties into the 6.3 volt Filament Heater String. See the light socket on the left. That is a newer style socket, but the same 6.3 Volt Source. The two brown wires are the 6.3 Volt tap coming from the transformer. The red and black wires are the Filament Heater wires, the power up the tubes at 6.3 Volts. I don't know what the older Maz light configuration looked like, but I am guessing that Z used the 6 volt light so he wouldn't have to worry about lights working off 240V. Can you post a photo of your amp chassis so we can see how it is configured. You need to check the dimensions of the existing light, I think the Marshall light I linked is smaller and may be too small, not sure. You can check with Don at repairs and see if he has an insight on those lights. This is a Z-Plus Chassis BTW.

I bought it from Peach guitars in the UK. I was thinking maybe gluing it back on might be an option , Thanks

If that's the case its a 2000 circa, that's 20 years old.
