Incandescent OEM light bulbs MX 110

[TX_Tube]

Looking for the incandescent OEM light bulbs for the MX 110 box. I was informed that Mcintosh Labs still sells the pieces, so that might be the only source. The side festoon lights run at 7 volts IIRC and the rest of the lights at 6 volts? I don't want a LED to go South, shorting out and if the LED isn't a fused unit, your PS might just get toasted. Did TerryD once help a vendor produce some incandescent bulbs for Mcintosh units back in the day?

This 110 arrived at the door today, after sitting in a closet in someone's house for the last 18 years. I will rebuild the PS first and check all of the tubes on the TV-7 A/U, before putting the juice to the switch. In good shape, not perfect, but for being 50+ years old, it looks pretty good. I don't care about the looks so much, just as long as it sounds great once plugged in.

The original, non festoon incandescent OEM light bulbs are still available from Mcintosh Labs, part #05800600. The festoon bulbs are available from Repair-Replace Artifacts, that did have the correct 7 volt OEM piece. A tad smaller then the original at 6 mm, but that should be no problem making it work. I believe there was a Blue/Green gel that was used to coat these bulbs from the factory.

Got a few in the mail yesterday. The festoon bulbs work with a little pinching of the tabs the bulbs sit in.
