Does anyone here know all the part #'s or the specs on all the lights in this system if I need to replace them.

I was going to use radiodaze.com for the parts but don't know the lamps

I think they are #44, 6.3v, 250ma, bayonet mount. Those were in my 41-280 when I got it. I tried #47 when I restored it, but at 150ma, they seemed too dim. I also tried #44 in the dial lamp with #47 in the band select lights on the side, but I didn't like the effect, so I went with #44 all around. You can buy these from Radio Shack fairly cheaply if one of those stores is nearby, and see what effect you like best.

John is correct. According to the service info and Chuck's website, the lamps for the indicator and push-button are type 44 (Philco # 34-2064). The dial lamp has the same specs as the 44 but has a frosted top (Philco # 34-2210).
