[Milsurplus] pix now available!!Information needed on eir indicator assembly

[Gregory W, Moore]

I am just rssending the original message to the group, with the url of 
the pix which I took of this indicator.  Be advised, I simply uploaded 
the photo cd to a folder on the website, and the titles are not 
descriptive.   I just would like to know something of the wiring 
diagram, and also what kind of bipin lamps are used in said indicator..

OK, here;s the URL of the photos:

I realize that some of you may have looked for these, and I just 
realized that when I recently (last week) upgraded my website for more 
storage and transfer, the hosting company never migrated my folders.

I just completed migrating the folders, and now have to work on a decent 
homepage for this "memory hole".

GA All of the wonderful Milsurplus reflector.

I have recently come into possession of an indicator assembly of a
rather weird design, and one of which I am unfamiliar with.

The Mil ID id /SGID-866  Light, Indicator
Navy Department, BuShips
MFG:  US Naval Security Engineering Facility
            WashDC.

115V 0.1 Amp.

Ok, there is nothing spooky or classifed about this item.  What is
basically is, is an indicator lamp assembly consisting of one Green lamp
(lens) and one Red lamp (lens).  The basic function of this indicator
was to indicate, with whatever lamp was energized (presumably by a
remote switch, if a comm circuit was cleared for Classifed traffic
(Red), or if it was not encrypted, nor secure (Green).

All that is inside are 2 indicator lamp assemblies, a terminal strip, a
fuse, and the cutoff ends of cable by which the lamps were
energized.....No big deal, just red and green.

I am rather enthusiastic, since I am former Navy, and a
codehead/facilities controller/Teletype Repair/High Speed CW op, Crypto
Repari/Operation (along with numerous other occupational
specialties...at that, to place said indicator near the door of my ham
(and MARS shack) for kind of a nostalgic look, since I spent most of my
career working in windowless, secure, rooms, performing tasks which I
can't discuss,using equipment I can't describe--hi-- I just thought
having the indicator operational would be kind of fun....

The query I have, is, is there any wiring info roaming around about this
indicator, and what lamps does it use. It appears to use 2 rather
oddball bipin lamps, but I have no further information.

If anyone can come up with lamp numbers, or a circuit diagram (it's
simple,how complex can two indicator lamps be?......I would be greatly
appreciative.   If you so desire, I will put a picture of this widget up
on my website so you can actually see the thing.... For such a simple
item, I sure as heck can't find any info about it, and since I acquired
it with no lamps, this is what I really need, as well as a wiring
diagram (note: there were two rubber cables going into the unit, one
presumably for power, and one for the remote switch by which the color
was controlled.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, to make this OM's shack a little
more authentic, since I have everything else look like a Radioroom
aboard a ship, with authentic florescent lighting, armored cable, proper
paint scheme, etc, etc.
