Ok, after looking at this link the bulb voltage is correct. However, the
length is a little off. Original GE #19 spec was for ¾ of an inch that way the
bulbs were not touching the wood of the music rack and were easier to put in.
If anyone is replacing these, I highly recommend that you make sure the organ
is power off! Cause with the longer bulb the pins that are mounted in the
music rack may have a tendency to want to bend because of the added length and
guess what you will blow up the fuse and could damage the power supply. Don’t
let anyone on this forum tell you otherwise. I was a repair tech for a local
dealer for 11 years. In my time there I can’t tell you how many people screwed
up their organs because they did not turn the power off when they were changing
bulbs. That goes for the pedal lights to. Now with the Trillium & masterpiece
the new design bulbs can be changed with the power on. Just sayin!

Not true. I restocked my Rodgers 770 music rack light with new bulbs I ordered
off the Internet just two months ago. They’re not cheap, but they’re certainly
available.

I think on my 1973 Trio the bulbs are wired in a series/parallel manner.
Sets of 2 bulbs in series that are parallel with other set of 2 bulbs in
parallel. I noticed several times when I replaced one bulb the one next to
it would glow. Strange system.

Correct but keep in mind if they used a higher voltage bulb on the pedal and
melted the wiring oops! Regarding the music rack, look for that dimmer,
either up by the keyboards or under the keyboards. Lots of organists turned
them down to save on the bulbs.

Mike,
I missed the reply you first made. This makes perfect sense. If the organ
functions/plays normally then I do not see it to be a power supply emergency
at this point.
To be on the safe side if replacing the lamps with the correct bulbs does not
repair the problem, the power supply DC voltages should be checked by someone
knowledgeable of the technology.

His pedal bulbs are out, I told him to check to see if they were burned out,
they are the old type car bulbs and folks put higher wattage than they should
at times. I told him to check to see if connections were melted. Also his
music rack lights are dim, told him to check for a dimmer switch and or bad
grounds.

You should be able to measure the DC voltages from the terminal strips where
the cabling attaches to the power supply pwbs. If any of those voltages are
greatly below spec then the complete chassis would have to be disconnected
and removed for further testing/repairs done.
What are the problems/symptoms?

Were you the one that bid something like $30.31 for that group of bulbs? Try to
buy new ones. There are many with that same base but not the same voltage.
