[Yaesu] FRG-7

I have long since given up replacing dial lamps, instead I use colourless
LEDs.

High brightness LEDs come in all shapes, sizes and colours and you will find
a suitable replacement for your dial lamp.  Measure the voltage at the lamp,
calculate the correct dropping resistor value and you will have replaced the
lamp for the last time.

Also, LEDs do not generate heat to turn plastic lenses and faceplates
yellow.

In April 1977, I purchased a Yaesu Musen FRG-7.  Over time, all except
one light in the Preselect burnt out.  I do not have a schematic for the
radio.
Does anyone know the number of the bulb and its working voltage?
IF the bulb is no longer produced, with what can I replace it?

Thanks for the assistance in keeping this rig running.
