[Tigers] Cigar Lighter

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Most often the element screws on to the handle. You can probably buy just  
the element. Most are the same diameter, but the length can be different. 
Get  one too short and it won't make contact in the bottom of the receptacle  
and  won't light. Bring the old one with you when shopping. Places like  
WalMart have them, but normally you have to buy the whole thing...less than  
$5.00

Hi  All,

I know it is not the most important part by a long shot...but it  is the 
last
instrument/switch on my dash that does not work. I spent way  too much time
repairing the outer case and rewiring, yet it still did not  work. I then
tested the in-dash element by plugging in my cell phone  charger and that 
lit
up like a christmas tree....so that part is fine. The  problem must be the
knob/push in element that has the heating coil. Unless  there is something I
can do to repair that it appers I will need to replace  that part at a
minimum.

So....anybody have a Tiger Cigar Lighter  sitting around...or know where to 
get
one? I am not sure if Alpine and  Tiger lighters were the same, if so an 
Alpine
lighter would also fit. I  have been searching ebay and the internet w/o
success. I know I can  probably get a modern replacement from auto-zone or a
similar place, but I  am trying to stay original.

Thanks,

Jim  Lindner
