I didn't think of looking at "Rollei Report". Mine are the
first editions. I wanted to find the lamp type number. In both
the "Practical Accessories" booklet and in an instruction book
for the Rolleiflash 2 I found on Mike Butkus site it says the
lamp is 6 volts and 50 to 70 milliamps. Its a T-10 miniature
screw base and round globe. I tried a tubular globe lamp, it
would work but doesn't fit well. The most common pilot lamps in
radio are the #44 and #47, they both draw considerably more
current than the lamp specified by Rollei. I will look at the
Rollei Report and see what I can find.

I checked my Rolleiflash test lamp and I could read "Osram" in the upper metal rim in contact with the glass, there are other signs I couldn't read with the loupe. The circuit scheme in the Rollei Technical Report says 6V and 38 for the test lamp position. I don't know if this info is useful for your purposes. I could send you the lamp image and/or to check the lamp again trying to read the signs if they mean something. The lamp is very small.

The battery seems to be a NEDA Type 215. They are available
for about $20.00. I can't identify the lamp. The closest
seems
to be a type #40 but it draws twice the current. I think it
might
fire the bulbs when testing. Perhaps someone knows
definitely the
type number.
