Lamps for Epicure Model One Amp

Posted by satellite65 on December 27, 2012 at 12:14:36:

I'm finally getting around to restoring my Epicure Model One Amplifier. Five of the seven front panel lamps are out. All are IDI Line-o-Lite P/N 3590A48. These are black plastic boxes which snap into holes that measure 1.58" x .725". They have removable front panels with lettering on them. I have not been able to find replacements. I also can't find any specifications on the Chicago Miniature / IDI web site. There are two wire-lead lamps inside the housing. Unless someone knows of a source for the IDI lamp assembly, I'll have to find appropriate wire-lead lamps and solder them into the housings.

The power indicator lamp has 20 VAC across it. One of the overload indicators has 36 VDC across it when the lamp test switch is on. The two remaining good lamps measure 43 ohms and 60 ohms, but I don't know yet if both bulbs are lighting in either housing. Recommendations for replacement bulbs would also be appreciated.
