These are replacement VU meter bulbs for Otair reel to reels. Many are the same but I can guarantee these work for the MX-5050. The specs are: 8 volts 50 mA Axial lead lamp about 13/16" long and 1/8" in diameter with about 5/8" of wire leads at either end. The original were frosted, these are not but seem to perform the same. These are about 1/8" longer but fit fine. The bulb on the right in the pictures is the original, the bulb on the left is what I have listed. Most VU meters need 2 bulbs each for a total of 4 if you are doing all the bulbs. I have a video showing how to replace these on an Otarti MX-5050. You can see the new and old bulb and how they fit in the meter housing and how the new bulbs look after installation. It's too long for e-Bay, follow the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdOEPftH0dk I'm selling these in groups of 4 and I'd recommend changing all at once since you'll have your unit apart. Also, the unit I replaced bulbs on came with 4 burnt out bulbs, so I really don't know what the originals look like when working. These look fine (See for yourself in the video) but I don't know if you did just one bulb or one meter, if the light would match the others. If you want to purchase less than 4, message me. PRICE IS FOR 4 BULBS.
