Reel deep thoughts...
Thanks to evm1024, if you need lamps for your VU meters you might want to check out the offerings at Parts Express and potentially save yourself a bundle of dough.
Here are "axial" 100mA solder lead type bulbs in 6, 8 and 12V...these are the same ones I paid about $8 each from Tascam and Parts Express has them for $1.09. These are the type to replace the bulbs in the likes of the 133, 234, 244, 246, M-300 series, 38, 48, 58, BR-20...lots of others I'm sure. I bought 4 of these from Teac for my M-520 because they didn't have the proper fuse type bulbs available. Anyway, no guarantees, but they sure look like the same thing. Worth getting one in each voltage and testing them out. Here is the link:

To add insult to injury they also have something that looks an awful lot like the fuse type bulbs found in the M-500 series mixers and many others I'm sure...also in 6 and 8V in 250mA and 12V in 150mA...the length seems to match up with the OEM bulbs in my M-520...again, might be worth picking up one in each voltage and trying them out.

I've purchased a number of items from Parts Express and have always had a good experience with them. They are great for certain types of items and I frequently check in at their website for price comparison on certain things. Totally missed this and Ethan caught it so if this helps you give evm1024 some green chiclets!
