Eico ST97 dial lamp ID?

[Mitman]

I'm bringing back a Eico ST70 tuner. It's missing the dial lamp on the MX side .

It appears to me from photos I've seen that it is an amber color where the FM tube like lamp is a cool blue green.

Can anyone tell me what originally went there and where I might find one.

As an alternative, a modern lamp that would be the right rating. What is the rating for this lamp please?

Mant thanks

it's been a long time since I looked,but I think it was a neon I think it came on when stereo was detected

I have an ST-97. It's exactly as s-petersen said--neon (in amber) and comes on when stereo is detected. Don't know where to source a replacement as mine still works. When it breaks, I might find out myself. I'm betting it'd be much the same as the amber neon lamps on the speed adjustment indicator strobes of many turntables. I think some here mentioned that Radio Shack (at least at some point) had those.
