That original lamp was rated 8 volts @ 3 Amps. These 8-volt lamps are no longer made today. However, ANY greater voltage lamp of same or greater current (Amps) rating will work OK. I use 12 or 14 volt types available inexpensively from a local Auto Parts store which provide adequately bright illumination (you can read a station schedule from the spill-over dial illumination alone). The common automobile interior Dome light uses *fuse-style* tubular cases. Or you can pay more for a multi-package of escentially the same bulbs sold on-line as exact replacements.
