[TowerTalk] G-800S control box "scale light" needed

[Larry Banks]

Hi all,

The “Edge Mounted Scale Light” (I don’t know what else to call it) in my Yaesu G-800S control box has failed.  It is essential the power light.

For the time being, I have jerry-rigged a set of LEDs to replace it, but they are not bright enough.

The part is shown as PL1 on the schematic I have.  It is #125 on the exploded diagram, which is listed as Q1000069, “Axial Lamp” on the parts list for the exploded diagram.  It is an incandescent lamp, about 5/32” in diameter and about 1/2” long with axial leads, and functions in an AC circuit of about 11 V rms.

Does anyone know what this component really is?  I would like to purchase a couple if possible.
