Well...I'm sitting in the cancer center about to receive the poison...but I have a laptop and lots of time to kill so I did a little research.
The Nostagia Air service info includes lots of "clarified" schematics but not a full schematic.
We need to look here:

Obviously it is a 6.3 volt filament circuit which the dial lamps are connected to.
Here is the bulb I am using these days:
https://www.pinballlife.com/ablaze-premi...-dome.html
LED lamps with miniature bayonet bases, in your choice of colors. Most will prefer Warm White which produces the same color temperature of an incandescent bulb. I prefer Cool White...just because.
The Pinball Life LEDs will illuminate your dial much better than those old incandescents ever did. As an extra bonus, they use less current and will probably last as long as you do.
