[GreenKeys] Update on Lamps for UGC-129

[Keith Densmore]

Thanks to everyone who has given information on clues leading to the capture
of these bulbs.
These little devils are proving to be elusive.
I've managed to track down a part number
Chicago Minature CM8-1432
I've checked with several suppliers, several of which stock 'everything' in
bulbs. So far, no one has them.
Don is checking  into a couple of sources of his own.
It seems possible  these bulbs were unique to the UGC 129, and there are
few, if any  NOS spares out there.
For reference they run from about 3-9VDC probably at a couple of watts. They
are tubular,  3 3/8 long by about 1/8th inch diameter. Metal tips are at
either end which snap into a holder.
I'd like to hear from any one who has any other information of these bulbs.
Thanks all.

Keith, ve3ts
