Here's something odd. The wire connecting the dial light bulb was never soldered in. It's just hanging there. The wire looks original. The metal in the wire and the connecting lug have corrosion from the years, it all looks original; just not soldered.

I'm thinking that the original owner used to say something like "That light's acted up since the day I bought this. Just give it a 'love tap' on the side, it'll light right up".

Or something like that I'm sure
