Philco 37-116 lights
#8

Have a 37-116 that I am working on.
Wire harness for the dial lights is gone.
Only wired light is the top light for the pointer.
I have run new wires up from the bottom that were factory connections from the 2 pole socket on the top side.
I have hooked up a 2 wire light to the new wires and get nothing on either the normal setting or the magnetic tuning position on the switch.
If I connect the center tap to what I am calling the normal setting and ground the bulb socket to the electrolitic can
I get a  spark and a bright light.
If I try the same for the other lead I get nothing.
The bulb I am using is a 6.3 volt.
I have a harness coming from ebay, with no plug.
So I thought I would just hard wire it.
Tried checking ac voltage on both of these wires and get about 3 volts on one and maybe 1 on the other lead.
Can anyone tell me what voltage readings I should be getting on the 2 wires?
I assume one is for the dial light and the other is for the teledial lights?
Got the 4 socket light harness today, but will have to re-build and re-wire it.
Thanks to Ron for his article on re-building these.
