Yeah, and the reason you don't SEE many of them any more is that they keep
burning out!

Perhaps the way to keep the vintage stuff original would be to put a small
value resistor in series with the bulbs so they last longer. They'd be
dimmer, but put it on a shelf near the ceiling where it's darker anyway and
maybe no one will notice.

Thanks for your reply Jim - I had never thought about using LED's but
that is something I would definitely consider now.

Seems it would kinda lose some of it's vintage charm if you did that,
incandescent segments are something you don't see much these days.
