If they are common reed switches in the slim glass tube, have a look in
your Hosfelt catalog; they list a few.

As for the #47 bulbs; those are standard 6.3V bayonet-base pilot bulbs. You
might find them at your local auto parts emporium in the bulbs department
although the stock may be very small since the market is nearly dry for 6V
bulbs. You could, however, consider changing over to type 1847 bulbs which
are very common 12V auto types. They would also draw less current which
would help save the reed switches.
