JVC PC-X130 Display Lamp Replacement?

Hello!
I just acquired a JVC PC-X130, and one of the bulbs in the orange LCD display is dead (there are two bulbs, one on each side of the display). The service manual cites FSGZ0001-001 as the part number, but I can't find a replacement or a cross-reference for the part.

Does anybody know what a good replacement would be?

Okay, I may have asked too soon. I tried JVC Accessories, not thinking they’d have it anymore, but it looks like they might. I placed an order and am keeping my fingers crossed that they can actually fulfill the order…

Just an update, in case it means anything to anybody later: JVC Accessory Store (jvcpartsstore.com) has still not yet fulfilled my order. I received confirmation, but nothing since. Still keeping my fingers that the parts still exist, but not counting on it.
The lamp in question, though, started working again, intermittently. I removed both lamps (they twist off the back of the LCD/Operation P.C. Board) and applied some DeoxIT D100L (the viscous, red stuff) to the contact points. Now, both lamps are working consistently.
I replaced the RW/FF belts and carefully cleaned off all of the residual belt goo from the mechanism. The speed is dead on and constant with the original capstan belts (I thoroughly cleaned them and the pulleys then used a test tape to confirm speed), but the auto stop was clicking, intermittently, during playback (on whatever deck wasn't in play mode). I regreased the autostop gears on both sides and haven't heard the click since (keeping fingers crossed on it'll stay quiet).

On the jvc kabooms, I typically immediately swap them out for LEDs, they use less power, light more evenly and will never burn out.

On some equipment, I go that route. I've had good luck modding the backlight on some older JVC displays that have the mirrored housing for the bulb (e.g. PC-X300 and PC-V77). I find that it's really difficult to get the right color and get the diffusion right with these flatter, newer displays. Anyhow, I like the color and vibe too much to mod it to LED...unless it become absolutely necessary in the future.

I hope these are helpful! I would have to do a lot more teardown to get to the power supply section, and I don't have the time to do that today. If I ever need to dig back there, though, I'll provide pictures of it.

With everything working properly now, I did a test recording from CD to a new type I cassette. I shouldn't be stunned by how well it did- I know these are very, very basic mechanisms, but JVC had bottled some kind of magic with these.

The thread on how I did it including how the leds were installed can be found in this thread:
