[comp.dcom.telecom] Trimline Lightbulbs

Does anyone know where I can get replacement bulbs for an
old style trimline?  Is it a standard bulb or a WE special?

Mark-

   I believe that the standard bulb for a Bell Trimline phone is a
51A bulb, which is also what they use in 5 line key phone systems with
the red hold button. (IE, if you have any old ones you can use the lights
from there.) From what I recall, the full designation for the bulbs
was II-72/TS-51-A, although I'm sure AT&T and better phone stores will
know what a "51A" is.

   If you have any problem finding them, I can give you the and address
or two where you can order them from.
