The literature does not call out the bulb type to use in the shadow meter on my Philco 640.  The original that was installed was a screw type that did not work.  However, you did not actually screw the bulb in place.  Also, I could not read a number on it.  Does anyone know which one I should use?  Here are some photos from different angles:
