According to my Original Paragon manual, the meter lamps are 6 V. There
is a voltage regulator type 7805 on the Low Level Amplifier/Noise
Blanker board. See section 6-18 on page 6-69: "Regulated 6 Volts is
supplied to the meter lamps through connector O." I presume that Ten
Tec used regulated voltage for the lamps to prevent them from flickering
during keying (like the 12 V lamps on my Corsair do.
The venerable #47, rated at 3,000 hours, would be the lamp of choice.
However, the #755 is also 6V, draws the same current, but is rated at
20,000 hours!

Any bayonet base lamp rated at 12 - 14 volts. Type 52 would do.

I have a Paragon and need to replace the display/meter lights. The
ones in my radio do not have any markings on them. Anyone know what
the bulb is? The manual/schematic do not show them!! I plan to
replace them with LED lights but need to know what is supposed to be
in the radio first. Thank you -- Paul Ramey WG0G
