My first Mc piece, a C29, is due to arrive Monday (8/7). Are these bulbs unique to McIntosh equipment, or can they be bought at Home Depot or at least at an electronics parts store (the kind that sells resistors & capacitors)?

Yes, my electronics parts store does have all off them. My ACE hardware has the face plate bulbs but not the festoon types.

Maybe the newer bulbs are garbage compared to the old ones. Most of my vintage gear (including Macs) are still running original bulbs or have only been changed once.
