Light socket repair - thirtiesradio - 12-12-2014

Any one out there that has rewired the dial light sockets on the automatic tuning sets? I have one with a couple bad wires that need replacing and thought I'd ask before taking one apart.

Looks like the socket that lights the dial/band indicator needs it as well.

I don't believe this is quite what you're asking about but Ron did a pilot lamp rewire in the tech section, maybe part if it will help...

Thank you Bob that did help

The rewiring went perfectly thanks to the pilot lamp rewire by Ron. The hardest thing was finding the correct plastic washers locally.

I found a source for the #6 plastic/ nylon washers, ACE Hardware has them.They are 0.11 apiece.They are in the pullout
trays in the single nut/bolt and washer section.

That's great! I have an Ace Hardware close by. Lowe's only had 5 of them and they were much more. I was waiting for them to get a new shipment in.
