I've been carrying around a note in my PDA for a couple of years now 
that says

"Rotor lamps:  Radio Shack # 272-1092C micro lamps."

I know I gleaned this from an AMSAT-BB posting but don't recall if it's 
a direct replacement or something that "can be made to work".

I also recall hearing of folks replacing them with LEDs. Sounds like A 
Good Thing.
