It's neon, right (orange)? Read the voltage at the circuit board and measure the diameter and height of the original lamp. Or get the lamp number from the service manual.

Then go here and search:https://www.mouser.com/Optoelectronics/Lamps-Holders/Lamps/_/N-5g6r?P=1z0yscc

You may have to click on the datasheet to confirm the size. It will likely be expressed in millimeters. Easy to remember that 3 millimeters is roughly 1/8 of an inch. 25.4 mm= 1 inch
