Replacment bulb for Yamaha T-32

[badahab]

Hey everyone. I managed to pickup a FREE Yamaha T-32 tuner today. It works great, except the back light for the lcd display is burnt out. It is a simple 14.5v AC incandescent bulb. I replaced a similar bulb in a radio about 10 years ago, but now I can't find anywhere to buy the bulb! All I can find now are leds. CML makes led incandescent replacements but they are too big to fit in the holder. I thought about making a simple power supply and using a white led but id rather just buy a cheap bulb. Anyone have a source on where to get something like this now a day?

I found a similar bulb at Radio Shack last night. P/N: 272-1141 12v 25mA. Its not as bright as I would like, but it gets the job done. I dont know the voltage difference will affect bulb life, but as little use as it gets I don't think it will matter.
