[VHFcontesting] GE757 Light Bulb for HD73

[wbr wf4r]

Out of curiosity I looked this indicator lamp up in the GE Lamp Products 
Catalog  :-) and they have a note that says if you run the bulb on DC 
rather than AC the life of the bulb is reduced by 50%. :-(   They rate 
the bulb at 15,000 hours :-) when operated on 28 VAC (.08A).
Glad you found one without too much trouble.  73, Bill, WF4R
