You can use a diode to drop the line voltage. Use a 1N4004 and place a zener diode of the correct voltage across the dial lamp. Forget about trying to use a resistor. You will not find one that will disparate the heat that will not damage the cabinet. I have replaced several resistance line cords this way. Just make sure you install the diode and zener with the correct polarity.
