[Boatanchors] AZDEN PCS-5000

[Revcom Electronics]

According to my PCS-5000 service manual, the 2 lamps in the control panel
are wired in series on the 13.8 source on pin #1 of CN101 connecteor on the
display module. That would make them probably 6V or even 8V micro lamps,
I would use 12V Lamps and rewire the circuit to put them in parallel, i.e.
RadioShack P/N 272-1092 or MCM 25-1370. Or use like original and put
in 2 6V, MCM 25-1365 (6V/70Ma)
