[TenTec] CM47 blbs

[ac5e at comcast.net]

The CM refers to Chicago Miniature, the maker. Your local professional electronics store, the place your local TV shop buys parts, will have type 47 bulbs: 0.15 A, 6.3 V bayonet base. Let your fingers do the walking and ask.

If you can't find some E-mail me direct.
