Bubba, You get a gold star. This one appears to be what I need for the Selectvend 1A.
Thanks!!

Tricky biz with old bulbs. Need to check orientation of locking pins and contact points. Also if locking pins are at the bottom or staggered.

Again Thanks!

If you do convert it to a screw type socket that uses those little night light bulbs I would recomend going LED. Got some mini LED bulbs for my machine and had the correct change light and one sold out light on 24 hours a day for at least 3 months and the bulb never got above room temperature. It was a little dimmer than the other bulbs but they ran cooler and I did not have to worry about them melting anything or damaging the lettering any more than it all ready is. Here is a post I made that shows the bulbs working. http://soda-machines.com/discussions/index.php/topic,10718.msg82190.html#msg82190
