Thanks David. And many thanks to all with this so far. This place is brilliant.

Thanks, Tirgon. I think they must have blown over time. No idea if all blew at the same time. They might even be the original bulbs.

The unit looks like it's from the 80's.

I think I'll just get some normal bulbs first and see if they work. Who knows, they might have been replaced with the wrong type and they all went at the same time and never replaced.

But do you think these would work as a replacement? once I've established the ones above work properly?

...Or do LED bulbs need to be wired up differently?

BTW. I do have a multimeter. I could check the voltage of the bulb fittings but which setting would be best to use on the multimeter?
