When the pilot light (for the meter) burned out on my 430, I used a
Radio Shack bulb, (their part number: 272-1092).  It is a physically
smaller bulb, but so far it has been working fine.  Radio Shack seems
to be downsizing what they carry in their stores, so I don't know if
this bulb is still available.  FWIW, the bulb is rated at 12V, 60ma,
10K hours.  Good luck.
