I've several defunct 359/259s. Email me and I'll mail you one.

I am aware of how to operate it on 14V or 28V. However, note 1 on this
reference
http://www.aeroelectric.com/Installation_Data/RT359A_459A_859A.pdf
implies that some internal jumpers must be moved in order to change the
illumination for 28 to 14V. Poking around with an ohm meter suggests
that the illumination lamps inside the unit are in a series/parallel
configuration, so the fact that one of the lamps are intrinsically only
5V isn't inconsistant...
