Indeed it was a KI. We had weekly scheduled PMs.
During this period, apart
from anything else, the engineer checked for defective bulbs. I seem to
recall that he used to replace 10 or so each week. (For those of you not
fortunate enough to see a -10, ours consisted of about 25 cabinets, each of
which had a minimum of 144 bulbs. That makes for lots of bulbs....
What a waste of time! Even on the KA10 I used, the bulbs had been replaced
with LEDs. There were several companies that made LEDs packaged with
current limiting resistors specifically for bulb replacement.
