Greetings. It's great to hear from another 15DX owner. I found mine in a basement with water damage and have been slowly restoring it for a decade.

They didn't make very many and I've only seen photos of about 5 other examples.

I'm using a 25W clear Westinghouse bulb in mine as shown in the right.
