I have a Kenwood TM255a 2m multi-mode rig.  The display has lost all of its
display lights making the LCD a bit hard to read .... especially when its
dark.   Looking at the schematic, the bulbs are in series so I suspect that
they are 6 vdc incandescent bulb - mechanically they are about 0.120' wide
and 0.220" tall wire leads off the back end.

Does anyone know what the part number of these are or can suggest a
source ?

I'm also contemplating switching over to LEDs, but the control circuit
would need to change a little bit as the TM255 has an adjustable dimmer.
That plus I would need a white LED where the light is dispersive (like an
incandescent lamp) and not focused.
