Thanks The Tophinator! After posting that it dawned on me that I should check the manual or the sticker on the back of the DLP...

Thank you for this excellent thread, VideoBruce! The Tophinator, thanks for the detailed instructions and helpful pictures on replacing the lamp in your HL61A650. I have the HL56A650 which should be the same. What model # was the lamp...
