Now, you are probably wondering what the Philco part number of the dial lamps corresponds to.
34-2040 corresponds to a type 51 lamp - 7.5V, 200 mA.
If they will fit, the LED lamps I suggested earlier will be a better replacement.
There is another lamp used to illuminate the phonograph bin - 34-2484, which corresponds to one of those 117 volt night light bulbs. Again, here I would use an LED replacement night light bulb - it will run cooler, draw less current, and last much longer.
I found this information in the 1949 Philco parts catalog, which is also in the Philco Library.

Nathan has worked very hard to make all of this available as part of this website. Please, folks, consider looking in the Library before going elsewhere. And drop a "Thank you" note to Nathan while you're at it.
