Thanks for the info Gregg. Good video, but for me, very good info here in your comments. Saves me time of having to look them up.

You can also use PLT 7219 bulbs. They are 12 volt, T1 size. Long life (16,000 Hours).

Glad it was useful for you :-) It took a little while to find the right bulbs, so I figured I would share and perhaps save a few people the agony that I went through in locating them.

The light bulbs are available from www.1000bulbs.com . The smaller bulb is a T1 size, Eiko 2182. The larger bulb is a T1 1/4 size, Eiko 8640.

+Gregg Messenger Thanks for your help, Gregg. I used the 2162 bulb which is a T1-3/4 bulb for the LCD backlight and was able to get the white diffuser off of the old bulbs and onto the new, slightly larger ones. I didn't realize that a lot of places sell a 2182 bulb that is also a T1-3/4 size, so I ended up with 3 bulbs that are much too bag for the bottom row of buttons. Just cautioning others to read the specs carefully when ordering your bulbs!
