DG Nova 3 Bulb Number? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

16 Jun 2014

When I was looking around for the DG3 front panel bulb part number, I
found the bulbs are 28V, 0.04A. I have a bunch (60?) GE 2174D bulbs that 
are identical except they are 12V, 0.04A. They might work with a 
properly sized series resistor although the color temperature might not 
match exactly with the lower voltage bulb. Let me know if you these will 
work for you.

I didn't pursue actually finding or buying the actual part number since
I was just trying to sell off the front panel with some missing (broken
off) bulbs.

  Do any of y'all know the bulb number for the
fragile little
 wire-leaded bulbs used in the Data General Nova's switch console? I
 have at least one burned out, and a couple have snapped off. I
 measure about 15V across the bulbs on my machine, but I don't know
 yet whether that's the correct voltage, nor do I know the nominal
 voltage, current or brightness ratings of the correct bulbs.
