That's not a problem. I was also interested in the info if I ever get
around to using it for a simh front panel blink'n version. Unless a Nova
3 drops in my lap. (and still would want info).
Thanks for the tips. I see that the foxdata site lamps don't appear
quite as bright as the chookfest ones, which is interesting. I'm
thinking now if I do anything it will be the LED route, so will evaluate
that, as I agree opening the thing back up will suck.
Jay did your DG stuff on the back dock move? just curious. PM if you like.
thanks

I have not had time to figure out the driver
circuit for any of the
lamps to see what that may turn up, and wanted to know whether it was
28v lamps before I buy 40 of them. (the thing has only 2 out of a
lot of lamps).
I mentioned http://www.foxdata.com/blog/tag/nova-312/ to you earlier,
which suggested the 28V bulbs. I also found
http://www.chookfest.net/nova3/ledmod.html
which makes it clear that the voltage is likely a fair bit over 12V.
The DG Components guide only lists part numbers for the 28V bulbs, 24V
bulbs, 5V, and 6V bulbs (at least that I found that fit with the wire
base and the form factor). I think installing 28V bulbs in 24V
circuits would be fine (they'd last longer).
Alas, I have no authoritative information on the exact correct bulb.
