Hi all
I have a Philco 37-675 with automatic tuning. What is the type of bulb does it use to light the dial? I have tried #47, #44 and
#51 and non of those are bright enough. The information in the documents only give a Philco number (34-2039) for the
"flood lights" but none for the dial. The youtube display of the automatic tuning show a very bright lamp. I would think that all
automatic tuning would use the same lamp. Does anyone
know what lamp I should use??
Thanks Joe
