Hi Jim.....

They're hardwired, so I should probably go with the LED's, since they have a longer life. TT only gives their part number and I have not yet pulled the meters.

TT does not stock the original incandescent meter lamps.

What's the mfr/part number of the lamp?  Is it a standard industry type?
Older Ten Tec gear (Titan 425, Herc I, Herc II, 229 and 238 tuners) all use
standard bayonet lamps that are easy to source from industrial vendors. I
simply buy boxes (a dozen or so lamps per box) of 14V long life bulbs. I
replaced all the bulbs in one 229B with LEDs and series resistors, but am not
satisfied with the result, so I've stuck with incandcescents in the other
four. YMMV.
