Ice light

[Dave Underwood]

Has anyone had recent experience replacing the ice observation light bulb on the left side of the fuselage.

The word we got back yesterday was that Cessna had destroyed the tooling and the bulb assemblies were no longer available.

It is shown as item 138-33 part no. 1570396-1, but there seems to be no other detail as to bulb type etc. or equivalent.

Any experience would be appreciated.

Thanks - Dave
