[ICOM] IC-901A Lamps

[Flying Bryan]

I used to have some of those but can't find them at the moment. I think I replaced them with LED's the last time they burned out. I'll keep looking for the correct lamp n let u know.

What are the specs on the 4 control head lamps used in the IC-901A?   I need to replace them all and the Service Manual only has a part number.   I assume they are 12  volts, but what current, and what is the bulb part number (other than ICOM’s stock number)?   Also, anyone got a source for them?

Or as an alternative, has anyone replaced the lamps with LEDs?  Is it necessary to rework the dimmer circuit?

Thanks for any help.
