Hi all,
I am setting up an IBM 2803 and 2804 INTEFACE test panel.
I need some lamps and lamp holders for it,
lamp voltage not important,
lamp color not important.
Does anyone have any for sale
or know where I can get some please.
These are going to be VERY hard to find. Some people have
saved 360 front panels, but are not likely to part with the
bulbs. What you might need to do, if function is not
required, is to get a single lamp from somebody, and 3D
print some pieces to assemble into a facsimile.
Last time I was at the Living Computer Museum, I talked to the guy restoring their 370
panel, who was using LEDs, because the original bulbs are all but unobtainable and do not
lave a long service life. This is likely to be something you end up needing to
approximate with modern components.
