Bulb size

big,

One way to get a hard to remove bulb out is to find a short piece of tubing that makes a tight fit when you try to push it on the top of the bulb. Usually turns counter clock wise.  Works like a charm.  Good Luck.

Another trick is to hit it briefly with a heat gun, and then canned air.  Sometimes the temperature cycling will break the oxidation that is holding the bulb in.

Got the bulb out had to break to get out but it's out what bulb does it take any ideas

I don't find any info on that accessory on the MTH site, hopefully someone with the manual can see if they specify the bulb.

 

Thanks John

Convert it to an LED.

How does led get the bubbler to work I thought you need heat for it to bubble

Are there any numbers on the base of the bulb you removed?

A quick call to MTH should get you the number and a replacement.

The postwar Oil Derrick with the bubble tube used a 14 volt #363 bayonet bulb. The screw base equivalent in voltage and wattage is the #1449. Perhaps that bulb can be tried.

Oops. I forgot about the bubble tube.
