That prompted an interesting line of research.
Those are apparently
DEC part number 12-09637, which in turn is a "Line-o-Lite" 3590A20.
Here's a picture of one, but they are sold out:

Nice find; shame they are sold out. I'd buy 10 in a heartbeat at
those prices (I have more than one drive to keep happy). I myself will probably go the route of an LED
replacement, but it's
always good to know what the incandescent options are.
I also found this: http://www.pdp8.net/tu56/tu56.shtml
in which Dave G. describes a successful use of the CM2182 (14V,
80ma) bulb in this application. There don't seem to be many
low current bulb choices -- the CM2174 perhaps, but it's only
about 1/3 as bright, and only about 1/4 as long-lasting.
Thanks, Vince!
No problem!
