Before I put this thing on the shelf for a while, I want to see the dial lit up. I think they are soooo cool! . . .(or maybe I should say warm! )

I've  read in these pages a while back on what to buy to restore the insulator in those sockets, but I can't remember where. If anyone remembers that thread,   I'd appreciate a shout out. Thanks.
