Hi Again!
I was wondering what is the designation for the "modern" (late 50's, 60's, 70's) 1A2 keyset phone lamps. Are they still made? You know the ones I mean... the 10V bulbs under the keys.
Where would I find those besides e-bay?
Best,
Joe

I can only tell you that they were 51a lamps

51A lamps and they still make them last I checked.
EDIT: You're too quick for me Dave.

Try Ebay, seen them there. Be patient, some people think they have gold filaments!

Looks to me as if they are still quite plentiful. A bit more expensive than they were back in the day, but isn't everything? TAKE A TRIP TO BULBTOWN HERE

the 51A lamps used are also labeled as: 12ESB this can replace the original 51A buls if you can't get the OEM bulbs!
