I had to replace the dial lamps on a KR-6600, and you all know that the original type are not available. Or at least very very hard to find.
Here is what I did.
I bought some 8 volt 250ma wedge lamps.
I cut the wire loop and straightened out the lead.
I removed the original lamps from the rubber piece.
I drilled (by hand) a hole in the rubber piece to accommodate the wedge lamps.
The two inner holes in the rubber piece are lost when this is done.
I fit the lamp in the rubber piece and put the leads in the post holes.
The leads go through the hole and bend over.
Installed them.
I did have to remove the heat sink screws to get a bit more room to fit the slightly bigger lamps into the assembly.
Below are a couple of pics of the finished product.
If anyone is interested, I will take some pics of the process.
