Deluk:
I recently had one of mine "pop" off the centre connection. Being a bit hidden away I didn't notice that the solder connection was minimal but under tension. Reflowing fixed it but bringing up this thread makes me think I should get a some spares. Being in the UK makes it easier/cheaper to get them locally. Does this eBay link show the correct ones? Note it says that the picture is for illustrative purposes only. Says to check the specs. Are they correct/the same as the ones supplied for the Crack?

Thanks in anticipation.

Doc B.:
Yes, that is the same part.

lthomash:
Dan, out of curiosity, is there a less fragile substitute, cost is not a consideration in this question.

Paul Joppa:
Unfortunately no, there is no substitute. It's an old design and an inefficient light source - but it has a very low effective resistance, and is very quiet. Used to be made in a sturdier package, but this seems to be the only format still available.

Deluk:
Thanks Doc.
