Look up Hosfelt Electronics. They carry those small lamps I believe. I bought
some for my 212RH and I believe it was them I bought them from. You want the
"Microwheat" bulbs.. I think that is what they are called. Or maybe mini wheat
as the wheats are small in their own right. They are out there to be found
though from regular parts places. SM.

Just got back inside form the minus 42 (wind chill temperature) degree outside.
Tried a local electronic repair place in town and found the lamps I was looking
for.
Also found that they sell other electronic stuff. Nothing on display, one has to
ask
at the front counter, but what the heck. At least I now know they have parts
and will sell in lots of one, or more. :-)

Hard to believe just how small some lamps can get. Grain of wheat, grain
of rice and grain of sand. The one in my digital watch is so small it looks like

a swollen spot on a piece of human hair.
