[Kenwood] bulbs

[Bill Smith]

I think they are Radio Shack 272-1092.  I replaced one in my 940, and it is slightly dimmer than the originals, but is ok.  I am referencing a catalog, don't recall the exact part I used.

272-1092 is a two-pack of 12 volt, 60ma microlamps.  As I recall, I measured 7 volts across the bulbs in the 940.

Hope they still stock the item.  They have dropped many parts from their inventory.

      I'm sure this question has been asked and answered many times on the
  reflector, but I failed to save it I guess.  Anyway, I have a TS-940 and the
  lamps behind the clock/LCD display have finally gone out.

      I can't find any specs about voltage or current rating in my service
  manual.  Can anyone tell me what the specs are and especially, what can be
  used for a replacement for them.  Maybe something from Radio Shack???  I'm
  not sure they are still available from Kenwood or if they are pricey.   Tnx
  for the help in advance!
