Thanks

I imagine Chuck or Ron will know but if you look at the parts list for the 42-327 at
http://www.audiophool.com/Philco.html it lists:
Pilot Lamp (6volts-Code 121) 34-2068
Pilot Lamp (115volts-Code 122) 34-2477
not equivalent info but maybe it will help. Are you sure its 2063 and not 2068?
The 2068 equivalent is a #47 (

(update)
Ron answers the 2477 question here:
http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread...ht=34-2477. That would be a C-7 style 120volt 7 watt. See
http://www.radiodaze.com/category/60.aspx for some (or looks like a hardware store bulb for a candle)

Brenda;
Thanks very much for that information. I was trying to make them out on some poor quality schematics and parts lists.

Thank you for the information you provided too. What I read as 34-2063 could very well have been 34-2-68 due to the poor quality of the image I was looking at.
