Tandberg 1020 Light Bulb

I recently acquired a Tandberg Tr-1020 and need to replace a bulb. The bulb is a small threaded bulb and reads Mazda 3586 on it. Anyone know what the modern replacement is?

I think it needs an E10 base but not sure about Voltage or Amperage. Keep in mind i am not very technical, the fact that i got it open and was able to remove the bulb without breaking anything would shock those that know me.

There is a place called Chicago Miniatures in Chicago IL, they supplied all the tiny lights used in all the old McIntosh pieces.....(Mac uses LED now). Also, there is a retail store in Austin TX .....

    Thanks guys. I found a shop here that says they can give it a tune up. That said, it seems to be working fine minus the lights. Sounds so damn good compared to the Marantz 2253 i was using. 

    Thanks again.

    My Tandberg 3001A tuner (similar vintage) had these dial lights I had to replace, and if my memory serves me right they were small Neon lamps.

    Sorry here’s the best listing. I think they may have been the 100v ones
