[Shop-talk] looking for small light bulbs

[Matt Trebelhorn]

Thanks!

I stopped at the local hobby shop this evening.  Got a 12-16v "grain  
of wheat" bulb, 45-50 mw.  Almost an exact match for the dead bulb --  
they even had them in green, like the one I was replacing.  Looks great.

Never would have thought of it myself... thanks, all.
