Chicago Miniature still has them in their catalog. I can't find anybody that
sells them though. If you find a source, please let me know,.

The bulb shows no continuity and my sorrily xeroxed manual is missing

specs and whether it screws in, plugs or solder.

I just got this setup and the it seems to work OK except the that the
DISPLAY UNCAL lamp on the 8553B doesn't light when it should. Is this
a
common failure that is an easy fix, any tips appreicated.
tnx

This is HP part number 2140-0259, listed as 12V 60ma. Manufacturer
part number is CM8-1099 which is made by Chicago Miniature Lamp.

This is probably the wire-lead plug-in grain-of-wheat lamp that they
used all over the place on equipment of this vintage.

I replaced several burned out wired lamps in an 8552A with socketed
lamps from Mouser that had the same specs. I just soldered wires to
the bases.
