I can't provide a picture... they are at home. They are, IIRC,
under-driven 28V bulbs with drawn copper wires coming through the

the -8/i, -8/L and -8/e.

is still also looking for a decent replacement for PDP-8/S bulbs
Post a picture of one somewhere so I can check, also the voltage.
I looked here, but didn't find a picture of the bulb.
aside... any pictures of the domed pole station from the inside
looking out??
Not usually... the only openings are to tunnels. The "main entrance"
is at least 75 feet from the actual dome. When you go "inside",
there's a large tranverse arch you cross first... large enough for
buildings to fit under (Bio-Med to the left, Old Power Plant to the
right).
