Does anyone know of a source for replacement
lamps for a PDP-8/E console? I have an otherwise
immaculate console board that I would like to
use in its original condition, e.g., w/o an
LED conversion, but one of the bulbs has been
broken, and, at any rate, additional failures
are likely.
Thanks,
Bill

Looking at the schematic (not the most legible), it looks like the part
number is 1209219, the same bulb used in the 8/L?
If so, the CM2309 is an equivalent, and the CM7371 is what I think is a
viable substitute, available at $13.92 for a 10-pack, from www.newark.com.

I was able to confirm in the 8/e maintenance manual that the bulb is the
1209219 (page 5-1).
Robert Krten also describes a technique for taking Augat machine sockets and
making sockets for the bi-pin bulbs, to minimize soldering/desoldering on
the relatively delicate fron-panel traces.
www.arrow.com lists the CM2309 for $1.38, but with unknown availability.
