[R-390] Dial lights, 6082 tubes

[David C. Hallam]

The dial lights are inside the cover of the veeder root counter.  Just
remove the 4 screws holding the cover and you can access the bulbs.

The 6082's are available from several sources.  An internet search will
reveal some.  They show up on eBay with some frequency.  You won't like the
price though.

Be sure you have some type of a fan or blower directed at these tube to
carry away some of the heat.  Everything will last longer.
