Who sells them? A lot of the new speakers are just 8 ohm and they will fry
the DS501 power transistor.

Hi Tom,
You would ask that - and darned if I have the info handy offhand. I`m
thinking I saw them in C Central.
Also I believe GM services them. (not sure of the ohms and thus why
I`m posting). I`ve got the part # around here somewhere - I`ll post
when I find it if interested.
But I don`t know the ohms of these newer GM replacements or those
claiming to be `correct` in the catalog (C Central I think) and thus
my question...?
Actually I think 8 ohms would be pretty safe w/ an early C3 amp. 8
ohms is probably in or darn close to teh tolerance for the early
speakers of that era. If I could find some modern speakers w/ all the
bells and whistles in 4X6 (at) 8 ohms I`d probably consider them.
I think what you are thinking of is the 4 ohm speakers - that`s what
all modern aftermarket speakers are nowadays. 4 ohms is certainly too
much strain for an older amp like an early C3. It`s a shame too
because there are really good speakers w/ butyl surround and 2 way or
better and modern cone materials. But 4 ohms isn`t going to cut it.

Subject: Early C3: Hard to Find 2182 Radio Bulb?

________________________________________________
Anybody have a GM part# or suggestion on where I can find this bulb? I
checked a former Delco radio repair shop that still has parts and they
didnt` find anything but they also couldn`t find a part# either.
All the other interior/dash bulbs are easy to find at parts stores or
even WalMart but this tiny one isn`t.
it`s the tiny 2182 bulb that is the `stereo indicator` for the U79
Delco stereo radios used in early C3s. Take the radio out, take the
nose piece off and it`s a tiny push in/twist bulb (bayonet) that
lights up on a stereo FM station. The trade name is or was 2182. It`s
12V.
