[Boatanchors] I-70-B Meter (BC-311)

[n2lxm@juno.com]

Greetings All,



	After looking for an S-Meter for one of my low End National Receivers
(an outboard accessory) and never finding one I decided to use a Type
I-70-B Tuning Meter from a BC-311.  I ordered one form Fair Radio and it
arrived today. My question is does anyone know what the Illumination Lamp
number is and what voltage does it operate at? The one that is in the
meter seems to be very bright at only 3 VDC, and I do not what to hook it
up till I am sure of what voltage should be used.  Also is this type of
lamp still available today. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated
.
