I couldn't really make out too much from the dial picture on the other thread, but am interested in the specific LED bulb you used.... and of course pictures of it with the new dial.
Since a reproduction grille cloth isn't available you just have to look at what's available and make a command decision  . Since Greg got his wheat pattern from Brett you might want to contact him and see if he might have enough left to do your set.
I think the new dial and LED light will really freshen up that RCA.

The pinout is the same but the 5U4 has a 3 amp filament, verses 2 amps or less on the 5Z4. I think that the pinout of a ...Arran — 12:04 AM |
