I have a Fluke 4000A digital multimeter that I got at a hamfest.  It had
been working, but quit after a cross-country trip in the trunk of a car.
Taking the cover off reveiled a broken filiment in a light bulb in the
charging circuit.  Not having the schematic, I was told that the bulb
is used as a current limiter when charging the 4 D-cell NiCds.  In
any event, I couldn't find a replacement at the few parts suppliers
in the area, nor a cross reference.  The bulb is labeled G63 - that's it.

Any help in finding a replacement would be appreciated.
