GF-9696 Lamp Voltage Question

[k2j]

Hey guys, anyone know the voltage of the lamp in a Sharp GF-9696? I should have tested it when I had it apart last time but forgot. Looked over the schematics and don't see it listed.

Also curious about what the attenuator knobs do? Seems like they are Q control maybe?

thanks!

If I were you I'd open it up and measure it myself. I already relied on sharp gf-777 rebelting manual and got wrong size belts.

Well I will if I must. I bet someone knows though

I wish I could open up my 9696 and measure it for you!
I wanted to help but tied up with lots of work to do.
This is the right time to upgrade it to an LED with a diffuser!

Forget those conventional lamps.

At the same time forget about the vintage incandesent look

One can color match with LEDs, grids and diffusers. It depends on the taste of the individual. If one wants to keep it all the same incandescent look then go for the original type bulbs.

Very true. Screw it I'll leave it be it has a momentary switch anyway.

Makes sense. Thanks

I don't know what those attenuator switches do, but, I think they are on the Sharp 777 also, so maybe a 777 owner can help

I think they adjust bass like on Sharp GF777.

I also have GF9696 and 777.

They adjust the highs.
