Replacement
Reference Drawing: Digit Service .................................................. Drawing A-27674
The primary service required by the displays is to replace burned-out lamps. Refer to
Drawing A-27674 for an illustration of lamp changing. Do not use lamps larger than those
originally installed in the display. Using higher powered lamps will likely cause fuse failures
in the display and could exceed the current levels that the display’s circuits can safely handle.
The Lap/Time indicators use 120 volt, 55 watt clear flood lamps, type 55PAR38. The Status
indicators use 120 volt, 85 watt flood lamps, type 85PAR38. Digits use 130 volt, 30 watt
reflector lamps, type 30R20.
